,Identify the main problems faced by service organizations in their attempts to
assist Indigenous people who try to establish residences in urban areas.
(Frideres & Gadacz)
jurisdictional tug of war between government results in justification for not
developing policy
public services encourage participation of individuals in society but they fail to
integrate Aboriginal people into urban society therefore they are more of a
barrier
acculturating organization promotes assimilation to Euro-Canadian culture
working on referral system but due to that Aboriginal people do not always
have the qualifications finding it challenging to even be accepted into the
program
accommodating organization attempts to compensate for the lack of
preparedness of Aboriginal in contact with Euro-Canadian society, they are
unable to offer any real assistance to Aboriginal people
member organizations work against the assimilation into Canadian society, they
represent the interests of Aboriginal people as member of distinct people but
effectiveness is weakened by absence of employment suited to Aboriginal
people as Aboriginal people

,Describe the effect of the reserve system on the daily lives of registered Indian
people. How did this system help to define Indian identity among people of
Indigenous descent? (Dyck)
- isolated on special pockets of land and were subject to different laws
- total social institution on their social and cultural organization
- vital aspect of people's reality and self-identity
- registered Indians in Saskatchewan are not typical "Native people"
Explain briefly the origin and development of the term "Indian."
- Columbus first used it because he thought he reached the east Indies
- European explorers, traders, and colonizers used the term "Indian" (or "Red
Indian") to identify the Indigenous inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere
The Indigenous peoples of the United States and in Canada have reluctantly
accepted the term Indian as a shared self-identification. Why?
the enduring impact of the attempted colonization of Indigenous peoples has
been that the inclusive term has been forced on them, to the extent that some
Indigenous peoples use the term for self-identification

, How do treaty rights affect the identity of Indigenous people in Saskatchewan?
(Dyck)
- registered Indians in Saskatchewan are not typical "Native people"
- distinction between who is registered or not is important and objective facts of
life for Indian people
-
What arguments are advanced by those who contend that present legal
identifications of Indigenous people are arbitrary and should be ended in favour
of an all-inclusive Indigenous identity? (Dyck)
- tends to homogenize and eviscerate historical and contemporary realities
- because majority of registered Indians in the future will be urban dwellers
- socioeconomic needs of Metis and non-status people are equal to needs of
registered Indians and distinctions prevent government from meeting moral
obligation to all peoples of aboriginal ancestry
