First Nations, Métis and Inuit Children and Youth: Time to Act

The National Council of Welfare report on First Nations, Métis and Inuit children and youth was written to show solidarity with Aboriginal demands for action, to help Canadians better understand and support needed changes, and to urge governments to act without delay in new and bold ways to give poverty-stricken Aboriginal children and youth a decent chance in life.

The report, developed by the NCW in cooperation with Aboriginal individuals and organizations, provides a portrait of Aboriginal peoples from the perspective of the communities and the social connections upon which children and youth depend. It combines statistics with the voices of influential Aboriginal people the Council interviewed, to give true meaning to the numbers.
