Summary:
"Dedicated to informing social workers and other helping professionals in how Métis people are affected in the child welfare system. Métis peoples today negotiate a form of displacement that has occurred over generations although most Canadians are unaware of this history. The forced removal of children through child apprehension and adoption has been an integral part of displacement, perpetuating further family disruption and dislocation. There is scant literature on Métis experiences in child welfare systems, no national data is collected on the number of Métis children involved with child welfare systems, and there has never been a national study of these realities. The little research that does exist shows a very troubling picture: the misidentification of Métis children as simply "Aboriginal" or "White, " and the mass movement of Métis children outside of their birth communities. Editor Dr. Jeannine Carriere is Métis and originally from the Red River area of southern Manitoba. She is a professor of social work at the University of Victoria.
