講題摘要：

  Since the formalization of "Helping Professions" in Canada in the early 20th Century, the impact of social workers on the lives of Indigenous peoples has been largely negative.  Examples include: the promotion of social policies founded on principles of eugenics, professional collusion with Church-run Indian residential school administrators, and the mass apprehension and trans-cultural adoption of First Nations children.  

  In an effort to restore social harmony with Indigenous peoples, many Canadian Faculties of Social Work have began making pedagogical and administrative changes to their curriculum and program delivery to better address historic inequities.  This presentation will discuss the extent to which Canadian Social Work undergraduate program delivery models and curricular approaches are addressing the persistent legacies of colonialism and social exclusion that continue to be experienced by Indigenous individuals, families, and communities.
