The Systemic Mistreatment of Indigenous Children in Canada - Why We Need to Implement Jordan's Principle

A Child's Life Lost to Bureaucracy: The Shocking Truth Behind Canada's Indigenous Child Welfare Crisis

Imagine a five-year-old boy who spent every single day of his life in a hospital—not because he needed to be there, but because two governments couldn't agree on who should pay for his care at home. This is Jordan River Anderson's story, and it's just the beginning.

In this important podcast and companion report, discover how Indigenous children today are being removed from their families at rates HIGHER than during the residential school era. With 53.8% of foster children being Indigenous despite making up only 7.7% of youth, this isn't history—it's happening right now.

Learn about:

• The $47.8 billion settlement that acknowledges decades of discrimination
• Why 140,000 requests for Indigenous children's services remain unprocessed
• How bureaucratic red tape continues to fail the most vulnerable
• The fight for Jordan's Principle and what it means for reconciliation

This isn't just another academic paper—it's a call to action. Whether you're an educator, social worker, policy maker, or concerned citizen, understanding this crisis is the first step toward meaningful change.
