Indigenous Health and the Residential School System

The ILT chats with Maggie Wente, member of Serpent River First Nation. Maggie has a broad practice serving First Nations governments, their related entities, businesses and not-for-profit corporations. Maggie advises on Treaty and Aboriginal rights in litigation and negotiation, human rights of Indigenous people and in particular equality for First Nations children and individuals in programs and services, in particular in the child welfare system. Maggie also advised in Indian Act matters, reserve land management, and First Nations governance. 

We chat about the residential school system, their affects on Indigenous people, and the dark connection between these systems and the Canada Food Guide.
