Paper Summary:

All racial and ethnic groups in Canada have many problems which white people never encounter. Blacks have issues of discrimination, violence and poverty. Ethnic groups face the issue of discrimination which results in low salaries. However, no group has such serious problems as Aboriginal peoples, and they also lack the resources to solve the problems. The fact that Native peoples must deal with the worst issues is not accidental but is explained by their visibility as another race that is distinct from all other people in Canada. Problems for Aboriginal people include lack of education, unemployment, alcohol and substance abuse, very high rates of criminal convictions, as well as high rates of child and teen pregnancies (Health Canada, 2007).
