It would appear that many of the challenges that are faced by the aboriginal communities are often blamed on the intervention of the federal government, whether past—as in much in the past—or perhaps even closer in timeline to today.
There's some of that and it is certainly related, for instance residential school systems, but also with regard to what was done with many aboriginal children in the 1960s, 1970s, and even 1980s, when they were taken out of their homes and put in the foster system and such.
Is there a way the federal government can be involved in bringing a solution to the victimization of aboriginals, without going about it in the same way that we have in the past? In other words, in the past it's been a bit of this top-down approach, or matriarchal, if you will.
How do we go about solving this issue without doing that again?
