Nearly one person in six lives in poverty in Canada. Aboriginal people are disproportionately affected and one in every four from aboriginal communities lives in poverty. Much of their housing is also substandard and they tend to be more overcrowded than the rest of Canada. Funding for services and programs has been capped for the last ten years which contributes to making their poverty levels worse.

Phil Fontaine, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations said, “This is discrimination, and it’s racist. We are held hostage and many First Nations people feel they are second class citizens in this country, our homeland. We have been denied the right to our land and traditional territories. We want to be as others are - independent and making a contribution to our society. We want to stand as equals.”
