What do the readings suggest to you about the peculiar risks faced by Indigenous women? Why do those risks exist, and why — and in what ways — are they greater than those faced by other demographics in Canada?

Indigenous peoples confront systemic prejudice and marginalization from economic and political power and the likelihood of being overrepresented among the poor, illiterate, and destitute. Wars and natural calamities displace them, and indigenous women are subjected to violence and humiliation as a means of ethnic cleansing and communal demoralization.

Indigenous women have been stripped of their ancestral territories and the physical and cultural resources necessary for life, due to their vulnerable health and well-being, ethnicity, economic hardship, and dialect. However, since indigenous women are not affected by issues such as poverty, the dangers are significantly more severe than those faced by Canadian demographics.
