Understanding Aboriginal Issues in Canada: A Comprehensive Overview

This introduction explores critical Aboriginal issues in Canada, focusing on disparities in life expectancy, poverty rates among children, and the challenges faced by Aboriginal populations. With over 52% of Aboriginal children living in poverty and a disability rate double the national average, the need for awareness and action is urgent. Using a KWL chart, we examine what is known about these issues, what questions remain, and what insights can be gained. Additionally, the relationship between teenage motherhood and poverty in Ontario is addressed, highlighting significant regional disparities.
