Description
I did this for a school assignment a while back but consider it some of my best work and hope that this work brings to light important issues the sixties scoop was a settlement that allowed people to come onto a reserve and have indigenous children taken away from their homes and then placed in white families this was not done out of caring for the children but instead was an extension of trying to erase their culture To this day there is still a large percentage of indigenous children in the foster care systems because of the 60s scoop. in British Columbia, the percentage of indigenous children in foster care is above 50%. this has caused a huge lasting impact on the children and their families -- the links below are some resources for learning about and helping indigenous youth https://www.indigenousyouthwellness.ca/ https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/42-28-0001/2021001/article/00004-eng.htmhttps://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/mandated-areas1/children-and-youth.html
