This volume examines Aboriginal issues from the perspectives of diverse elements of the Aboriginal population. The chapter on women's perspectives looks at the evolution of Indian policy and its effect on women, women's health and social services, and the family. The chapter on elders' perspectives reviews the Aboriginal and Western intellectual traditions and the role of elders in the modern world. The chapter on youth perspectives reviews the reality of Aboriginal youth, their need for whole health and empowerment, and a proposed Aboriginal youth policy. A chapter on the Metis looks at their history, culture, relations with government, and rights. The final two chapters give perspectives of Aboriginals in the north (political development, environmental stewardship, the economy) and urban areas (social programs, cultural identity, women, governance, demographics, socio-economic conditions).
