Abstract
Change has just begun for Indigenous peoples in recent years. It has been only 34 years, for example, since Aboriginal people in Canada challenged the Federal government to enshrine Aboriginal, Métis and Treaty rights in the 1982 Canadian Constitutional document. This provided the foundation for the first step in the struggle to assert Aboriginal Justice Rights — the incep-tion of the first Native owned and controlled justice program in Canada. Later, as a result of action taken by Native parents in the early 1970s, a policy statement was created that allowed First Nations peoples to administer their own schools, which has evolved to include urban Aboriginal schools as well. In the same time frame, Native people were lobbying for the development of cultural health-based programs such as treatment centres. In Australia, New Zealand and the United States similar changes, as a result of sometimes radical social movements, were occurring. Canadian Aboriginal people, like many Indigenous peoples globally, have only begun a process of reclamation and healing, which includes retaining (and sometimes gaining) control over different areas of their lives, a development often referred to as self-determi-nation. Asserting our voice has been a matter of cultural survival; for many, a matter of life and death.
