Abstract
The paper looks at the multicultural policy that is administered by the Canadian government and concludes that it is marginal. It compares the treatment of the Native People in Canada and reflects on the serious problem in economic, health, and educational disparity in comparison to the larger white population. The paper discusses how the current government enactment of racial equality is not effective, yet the government enjoys a global reputation as being racial harmonious and protecting the Native Peoples from segregation.
From the Paper
"In this study, the alarming realities of racism brought forth on the Native Peoples of Canada has been a serious issue for modern Canada. Although new efforts by the government have been brought forth to help out this racial minority, it is clear that they still suffer under white hegemony through economic and social measures. In essence, the atrocities committed against Native Peoples in relation to their economic stability, are still being committed and reinforced in modern day Canada. In the past twenty years the problem of racism in Canada has not improved for Native Peoples on an economic level."

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between the Canadian North West Mounted Police (NWMP) and the native people of Canada. It briefly describes the history of the white Canadian's contact with the native people and how the NWMP became involved with them. The paper compares their attitudes towards the Inuit and the Indians and the conflicting opinions of how to deal with the Inuit. Finally, the paper looks at who is to blame for the degradation of the culture of the native peoples of the frontier.
From the Paper
"The North West Mounted Police were dispatch to the frontier as the law enforcement representative of the Canadian government. They protected the native population from further exploitation from the white settlers, and although contemptuous at times, they were not responsible for the demise of the native culture. Similar the introduction of modern culture to the Inuit by the Mounted Police was not the root cause of the demise of their culture. The encounter of modern society was inevitable, and the generous attitude of the Mounted Police avoided the exploitation that was all too often a part of the integration of native cultures into modern society."

Abstract
This paper examines the image of Native peoples in the novels "Tay John" by Howard O'Hagan with an after word by Michael Ondaatje, "The Vanishing Point" (author not known) and "The Scorched-Wood People" by Rudy Wiebe and in the play "The Occupation of Heather Rose" by Wendy Lill. The author points out that, in all four works, systemic racism plays a role in the oppression of the Native peoples. The paper relates that reverse discrimination and militancy are used to struggle against racism and oppression so that each work has a positive outcome.
From the Paper
"The image of Native peoples, in the novels "Tay John", "The Vanishing Point", and The Scorched-Wood People as well as in the play "The Occupation of Heather Rose", is complex and variable. The patterns of systemic racism, reverse racism and the discrimination, which flow from them, are interwoven with social structures of which the oppressed very often are a part."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the colonial Americans were clearly a population in conflict with a multitude of conflicting populations as well as objects. The writer notes that the colonists were in conflict with the land, which they did not yet understand, as well as the native peoples of the land, which they had chosen to become at least their temporary home, in the name of European progress and wealth. The writer points out that the conflicts, of which there were many, with native Americans were frequently difficult and bloody and in fact marked one of the greatest obstacles associated with European dominance of the new found colonies. The neighbors having been provoked by bad behavior in the past, would likely see and treat the new colonists with the same regard, tentatively trading with them to gain goods they had become dependent upon but at the same time never letting down their guard to the potential for treachery. The writer concludes that the native populations and the colonists then were in a continual dance of shaking hands at full arms length, in need of each other but unwilling to come any closer.
From the Paper
"The colonists therefore resolved the conflict between themselves and natives, by placing the responsibility for collective communication upon the natives, and assuming all others, those who did not come to them first were in need of cajoling, either by means of warfare or dominance by dependence.
"Though in retrospect, some observers of the colonial experience, such as Raynol, recognized the error of assuming superiority over natives and removing them from the land with brute force and physical dominance was unethical at the very least, there is also a clear sense that this is retrospective and Raynol, did not have to live there. The pillage and plunder mentality and action, did not always succeed, though and there were clearly some who learned from the failings of others, in the conflict with the native populations."

Abstract
This is a research proposal that was done to look at the effects of poverty on immigration in Canada. In Canada, immigrants are more likely to live under the poverty line than native Canadian-born citizens. The proposal attempts to answer the question: Why are Canada?s immigrants more likely to end up in poverty than native-born Canadians. It is a qualitative proposal, which includes a literature review. The author discusses census data and utilizes interview questions and answers. The proposal was written in first person narrative, and is 13 pages long, including bibliography as well as a potential newspaper ad for gathering applicants to the study.
From the Paper
"This study will hopefully show why it is that immigrants to Canada , at least those who arrived since 1981, are more likely to live in poverty than native-born Canadians. It will attempt to find possible solutions to prevent this from happening to future immigrant populations, whether the problem lies in the hands of the immigration system, or if it has to do with something else. Optimistically, my study will also serve to educate the public and policy makers to adopt different views on immigration and immigrants than the ones currently harbored by many. In my opinion, education of the public and lawmakers will prove crucial after the findings to start finding ways to make some changes to get these people out of poverty, which would benefit everyone."

Abstract
Explores the multicultural and expanded immigration policies in Canada and its positive results on society.

From the Paper
"Canada is a multicultural country to which people come from different ethnic and national backgrounds, but all live in harmony here. Since the forming of multiculturalism and the expanded immigration policies, Canada has attracted people from all over the world that come here for a better education, better work and a better life in general. There has been a growing trend, from only a few ethnic groups in the past, to over eighty ethnic groups today, perhaps largely due to the very successful Canadian Multiculturalism Act."

Abstract
This paper explains that, of all the ethnic groups to migrate to British North America, the Irish are perhaps the most neglected and ignored in Atlantic-Canadian history. This paper discusses the history of their arrival and their absorption into Canadian culture and society. It also examines where they lived and why these areas were chosen.
From the Paper
"The Scottish settlers are widely acknowledged, after all Nova Scotia means New Scotland, and the French identity is strong from when the area was united under the title of Acadia. The English have a long Maritimes history basing most of the colonial war with the French, and the Aboriginal Canadians existed in the area at least one thousand years before any of the others. However, since European colonization began, the Irish have always been present, with the largest concentration in Saint John, New Brunswick, a primary immigration port in the New World, and a city with stronger connections to Ireland than Boston, Massachusetts. In fact Saint John was the destination for more than thirty thousand Irish fleeing the Potato Famine in Ireland between 1845 and 1854, with roughly sixteen thousand of them arriving during 1847, called Black 47 due to the fact that it was the worst year of the famine."

Immigrants and Minorities in Canada, 2005.
An analysis of multiculturalism and discrimination against minority groups within Canada.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, £ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay focuses on media, immigration and minority groups in Canada. The essay analyzes five articles that look at media bias against immigrants to Canada. The paper argues that the media portrays the immigrants as people who are only good as labourers and not as Canadian citizens.
From the Paper
"Miscasting Immigrants and Minorities in Canada Canada is supposed to have a multicultural society in which immigrants are welcome and minorities are accepted. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census" (Bone 155). However, there is ample evidence that the media, various levels of government and Canadian society as a whole do not really believe in multiculturalism."

"Native Knowledge for Native Ecosystems", 2007.

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews Robin Wall Kimmerer's 2000 article, "Native Knowledge for Native Ecosystems" and highlights the article's main points as well as how it approaches the broad concept of ethno-ecology. More importantly, the paper also touches upon how the article approaches the linkage of local and/or traditional knowledge of ecological systems with academic and/or scientific knowledge of those same systems. Finally, the paper discusses the significance of the aforementioned linkage as it pertains to the future of human beings in the global ecosystem.
From the Paper
"Simply put, Kimmerer's argument is that Native Americans intensively cultivated the land so that it would provide them with sufficient foodstuffs to brave the grueling winter months. While modern-day efforts to restore the ancient biological vitality and bio-diversity of the American woods and ecosystems is a laudable goal, it is not possible without also considering how the natives were able to so successfully manage the world around them. In effect, Kimmerer argues that modern-day conservationists must "heal" their relationship to the land and understand the land spiritually and emotionally as well as intellectually. Less abstractly, Kimmerer states that twenty-first century man must adopt the "site-specific" or "diachronic" knowledge which well-served Native Americans in the past and which lends itself to successful local site restoration.

Native vs. Non-native Anthropology, 2005.
This paper contends that distinctions between native and non-native anthropology are insignificant.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that a native anthropologist is one who conducts research in their own society whereas a regular anthropologist conducts research in any society. The paper considers how some would argue that there should be a distinction. This paper presents the hypothesis that the distinctions between native and regular anthropology do not matter. To support this argument, the work of the following two anthropologists is considered; Vincent Crapanzano, who is considered a Native anthropologist because he is doing research in his own society and Anne Allison, an American doing research in Japan.
