The Marginalization of Aboriginals in the Canadian Justice System

The original people to live in Canada ca-ca adapted the name primordials. They were here before the European settlers discovered the continent of North America. When the Europeans arrived in Canada they brought with the numerous technological advances and customs that the Aboriginals did not know. Although you might think that this would be a very great involvement for Aboriginals, it was not very good. The Europeans thought that the aboriginals were very hostile and treated them very badly.The Europeans tried to assimilate the Aboriginals culture and force them to become like the Europeanss. The Canadian justice system has marginalized the Aboriginals of Canada for many years. For the initiatory couple hundred years there were many wars between the Europeans and the Aboriginals. But then things started to stabilize and the Aboriginals and the European settlers began to trade amongst one another and become more and more dependent on each other.However, kickoff in 1964, immediat ely following the Royal Proclamation, the British began to gain more control over the Aboriginals. They write numerous treaties with the Aboriginals for them to give up their land in exchange for a sum of money and bittie reserve lands specifically for the Aboriginal people. However the land the aboriginals were given was very poor and had bad res publica which made it hard to farm. The idea of residential schools set out in 1846 and was put into action in the late 1890s by the Department of Indian Affairs.The whole point of residential schools was deculturalization of aboriginals. However the governing body didnt put it so bluntly. They would say that the aboriginals are put in a white baseball club to learn how to become better Canadians. Not only did residential schools commit culture genocide merely there was also lots of abuse at the schools. For example, estimates suggest that as many as 60% of the students died (due to illness, beatings, attempts to escape, or suicide) while in the schools.They would be punished if they did not speak English even though many of the children didnt know how. The schools were also very poorly funded by the government and the children were usually taught tangible labour. Many of these issues have been solved and the government is still doing things today to suspensor mend what they have through with(p) to the Aboriginals in the past. However Aboriginals are still very affected at what has been done to them. First estate communities experience higher rates of violence, domestic abuse, sexual abuse rape, incest, etc. lack of family and community cohesion, suicide, addictions, alcohol, food, health problem diabetes, heart disease, obesity, poverty, unemployment, high school dropout (63% do not graduate), despair, hopelessness and more. The Aboriginal community has been marginalized by the Canadian Justice system which has affected them greatly. Hopefully the government will do everything they can to help aboriginal people become healthy members of society and keep their cultures and beliefs.
