Between 8 Nov 2021 and 17 Feb 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of articles about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls of which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the
number of articles and quoted from them ending with a read more URL. All

<<Canada unveils agreements to compensate Indigenous children
Human rights tribunal in 2016 said Canada had discriminated against
Indigenous people in child and family services.
Canada has reached agreements-in-principle to compensate Indigenous
children who were discriminated against and placed in the welfare
system, the government has announced, after Indigenous advocates waged a
years-long fight for justice and reform. In a statement on Tuesday, the
federal government said $15.75bn (20 billion Canadian dollars) would be
allocated to First Nations children who were removed from their homes,
as well as those who did not receive or faced delays in accessing
services.
Another $15.75bn (20 billion Canadian dollars) will go towards long-term
reform of the First Nations Child and Family Services programme,
including funding for young adults ageing out of the child welfare
system.
<For too long, the Government of Canada did not adequately fund or
support the wellness of First Nations families and children,> Canada’s
Minister of Indigenous Services Patty Hajdu said in the statement. First
Nations children thrive when they can stay with their families, in their
communities, surrounded by their culture. No compensation amount can
make up for the trauma people have experienced, but these
Agreements-in-Principle acknowledge to survivors and their families the
harm and pain caused by the discrimination in funding and services.> The
announcement comes after Indigenous community advocates fought to get
Canada to abide by a 2016 Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling that
found the federal government had discriminated against Indigenous people
in the provision of child and family services. This discrimination
pushed more Indigenous children into foster care, said the tribunal,
which ordered Canada to pay each affected child $23,114 ($40,000
Canadian dollars), the maximum allowed under the Canadian Human Rights
Act. According to census data, just more than 52 percent of children in
foster care in 2016 were Indigenous, while Indigenous children made up
only 7.7 percent of the country’s total child population. Canada
admitted its systems were discriminatory but repeatedly fought orders
for it to pay compensation and fund reforms, including in a federal
court case it lost last year and sought to appeal, and an attempt it
announced last year to overturn another tribunal decision ordering
funding of capital assets and preventive services. The reform deal
announced on Tuesday includes $1,965 (2,500 Canadian dollars) in
preventive care per child and provisions for children in foster care to
receive support beyond age 18.
Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child & Family
Caring Society, which brought the complaint to the Canadian Human Rights
Tribunal, welcomed the agreements-in-principle on Tuesday as <an
important first step. There is an unquestionable need for actionable
change. This Agreement-in-Principle, while an important first step, is a
non-binding agreement,> Blackstock said in a statement (PDF), urging a
binding deal to be finalised. <It is only when that binding agreement
has been written and signed by the Government of Canada and acted upon
with great haste that First Nations children, youth and families will
have a measure of assurance that actionable change is coming.> Nishnawbe
Aski Nation (NAN), an umbrella group that represents 49 First Nations in
the province of Ontario, also welcomed the agreements-in-principle,
saying a final settlement is expected to be completed by the end of
March. <What has been achieved deserves to be celebrated and will
strengthen our Nations’ ability to care for our children and families,>
NAN Deputy Grand Chief Bobby Narcisse said in a statement.>>
