- Summary:
- "Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars forward child welfare issues currently impacting Indigenous children in Canada. Walking Together is the seventh title in the Voices of the Prairies series. Developed by the Prairie Child Welfare Consortium, this edited collection brings together accomplished Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars from the prairie provinces to forward critical research about a range of contemporary child welfare issues currently impacting Indigenous children in Canada. Centering Indigenous knowledge and working to decolonize child welfare, contributors address the over-representation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system, the un-met recommendations of the TRC, the connections between colonialism and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, the impact of Bill C-92, and more. Praise for Walking Together "A great contribution for all of us who conduct research, teach, and work directly in the field of Indigenous child welfare practice." -- Jeannine Carrïre, author of Calling Our Families Home: M̌tis Peoples' Experiences with Child Welfare."-- Provided by publisher.
