Special Session
On October 07, 2020 from 10:00 AM – 12:05 PM EST (Canada and US).
Reconciliation and decolonization in Canada: Housing and Homelessness
Synopsis
This
panel
looks
at
Reconciliation
between
Indigenous
and
Non-Indigenous
people
within
the
context
of
homelessness.
Many
Indigenous
people
comprise
the
largest
subgroup
of
people
living
with
homelessness
in
many
Canadian
towns
and
cities.
The
lack
of
decent
housing
for
urban
Indigenous
people
and
people
living
on
First
Nations
points
to
the
need
to
examine
the
relevance
of
reconciliation
to
resolving
housing
and
homelessness
for
Indigenous
people.Canada
must
address
the
needs
of
its
Indigenous
people, who constitute 5% of its population, within the context of sustainable development.
Reconciliation
seeks
to
restore
friendly
relations
or
the
make
the
views
of
the
dominant
white
culture
compatible
with
that
of
the
Indigenous
culture.
Decolonization
seeks
to
deconstruct
the
dominant
colonial
ideologies
and
approaches,
to
dismantle
the
structures that perpetuate unbalanced dynamics of power between Indigenous and Western thought.
Indigenous
homelessness
is
very
prevalent
and
visible
in
urban
settings.
Urban
centres
such
as
Timmins,
Sudbury,
and
Toronto
(Ontario),
Canada
all
have
high
rates
of
homelessness
amongst
indigenous
groups.
Indigenous
people
find
themselves
challenged
in
meeting
their
housing
needs
by
racism,
stereotyping,
and
discrimination
and
other
forms
of
social
exclusion.
This
panel
looks
at
how
various
aspects
of
reconciliation
and
decolonization
can
be
brought
into
play
in
order
to
understand
Indigenous
homelessness and how it can be alleviated.

Abstract
Uncovering the Invisible Crisis of Indigenous Homelessness in Canada
Many
Indigenous
scholars,
researchers
and
activists
have
expressed
concerns
about
the
underestimation
of
homelessness
among
Indigenous
people.
Others
have
raised
concern
that
high
rates
of
Indigenous
homelessness
constitute
a
crisis
in
Canada
given
their
overrepresentation
in
statistics
on
homelessness.
This
presentation
describes
the
extent
of
homelessness
for
Indigenous
and
non-Indigenous
people
in
northeastern
Ontario
and
shows
that
the
rates
of
Indigenous
homelessness
are
much
higher
than
their
proportions
in
the
general
population.
A
challenge
for
researchers
is
that
the
dominant
method
used
to
enumerate homelessness—Point-in-Time or PiT counts—underestimate the number of people living with homelessness.
Substantial
numbers
of
homeless
people
are
under-represented
or
largely
absent
in
current
data
about
homelessness.
Moreover,
many
people
living
with
homelessness
are
invisible
in
the
sense
that
their
status
as
homeless
people
is
not
recognized
as
a
form
of
homelessness.
It
is
important
to
understand
the
various
forms
of
homelessness,
to
recognize
the
methods
required
to
include
various
subgroups
of
this
population
in
enumeration
studies
and
to
utilize
sound
methods
to
guide
research
and
policy-making.
This
presentation
describes
“Period
Prevalence
Counts”
(PPC)
used
to
study
homelessness
in
rural
and
northern
Ontario
and
compares
results
from
the
PPC
and
PiT
methods.
Analysis
shows
that
the
PiT
method
identified
only
10
to
30
percent
of
the
number
of
people
in
the
PPC
studies.
This
presentation
contrasts
the
results
for
Indigenous
and
non-Indigenous
participants
and
sheds
light
on
the
magnitude
of
Indigenous
homelessness
when
using
the
PiT
and
PPC
methods.
These
results
can
inform
discussions
about
the
appropriate
methods
of
enumerating
homelessness
and
the
implications
for
moving
forward
with
reconciliation.

Abstract
Mobility and Migration from the James Bay
This
paper
explores
the
socio-structural
dimensions
of
exclusion
(such
as
exclusion
from
housing,
education
and
employment)
linked
to
homelessness
experienced
by
Cree
migrants
from
the
James
Bay
in
northern
Ontario
who
were
living
in
urban
centres
in
northeastern
Ontario.
While
their
movement
to
urban
centres
is
often
viewed
as
aproduct
of
choice,
an
exploration
of
the
social
forces
underlying
out-migration
revealsprocesses
of
displacement
characterized
by
the
loss
of
familiar
physical
and
social
environments:
loss
of
material
possessions,
safety,
relationships,
access
to
traditional
lands
and
valued
lifestyles.
The
current
paper
explores
the
mobility
and
migration
patterns
of
128
Cree
people
from
James
Bay
coastal
communities
and
lowlands
to
urban
centres(Moosonee,
Cochrane,
Timmins,
Hearst,
North
Bay
and
Sudbury)
situated
along
common
migration
pathways.
They
experienced
homelessness
in
one
of
these
towns
or
cities
where
they
participated
in
a
survey.
In
addition
to
exploring
the
characteristics,
circumstances
and
factors
linked
to
migration
of
Cree
people,
the
paper
endeavours
to
describe
their
life
circumstances,
their
struggles
and
challenges
associated
with
socio-structural
exclusion
and
marginalization
following
their
displacement or migration from their home communities on the James Bay.

Abstract
Unwinding Colonialism towards Indigenous Housing rights in Canadian Cities
The
overrepresentation
of
Indigenous
people
experiencing
poverty
and
homelessness
in
cities
across
Canada
can
be
understood
as
the
systemic
practice
of
colonial
policy
and
law
at
all
three
levels
of
the
Canadian
government.
With
a
view
to
first
specifically
identifying
these
challenges
within
the
context
of
urban
Indigenous
housing
providers
in
Canada,
this
paper
suggests
a
long-range
strategy
out
of
what
has
becomea
well-worn
pattern
of
the
systemic
exclusion
of
Indigenous
people
and
towards
a
decolonized,
Indigenous rights-based relationship.

Abstract
Explicating Indigenous Homelessness: How Can You Have ‘Reconciliation’ When You Don’t Have a Home”
Indigenous
homelessness
is
socially
located
within
the
broader
context
of
north
American
colonization
and
Canadian
government
assimilation
policies
within
Indigenous
communities.
The
everyday
life
of
Indigenous
people
is
socially
organized
through
a
range
of
institutional
policies,
laws
and
regulations.
These
create
a
web
of
entanglement
that
forces
those
seeking
to
live
within
and
comply
with
artificially
created
values,
beliefs
and
ways
of
living—not
to
mention
often
living
in
or
being
displaced
to
‘foreign’
territories.
These
organizers,
treaties,
international
agreements,
the
Indian
Act,
the
reserve
system
and
other
forced
modes
of
assimilation,
function
to
create
a
baseline
of
life
that
not
only
supports
homelessness
as
a
life
journey,
but
also
provides
the
underlying foundation for it.
My
presentation
makes
visible
aspects
of
the
broader
context
within
which
Indigenous
homelessness
exists
and
organizers
that
helped to shape its growth and continuation.
The
roots
of
these
organizers,
thediscovery
doctrine
and
notion
of
terra
nullis,
guide
settler
control
and
appropriation
of
land;
supporting
the
assertion
that
they
are
legally
justified
in
assuming
full
ownership
of
‘discovered’
lands.
Artificial
boundaries
between
and
within
traditional
First
Nations
lands
was
justified
through
the
enactment
of
laws
and
policies.
Eurocentric
views
of
First
Nations
as
inferior
predominated.
Traditional
Indigenous
ways
of
living
on
the
land
were
viewed
with
suspicion.
The
government
required
Indigenous
people
to
change
traditional
nomadic
lifestyles
and
adopt
a
sedentary
way
of
life.
Following
treaty-making,
houses
and
communities
were
designed
and
constructed
to
reinforce
individualism
and
Western
notions
of
the
social world.
