Indigenous foster children living in private households : rates and sociodemographic characteristics of foster children and their households / by Tara Hahmann, Hyunji Lee and Sylvie Godin.: CS412-00002/2024-1E-PDF
"Indigenous children are vastly overrepresented among foster children in Canada. In 2021, Indigenous children accounted for 7.7% of all children under age 15 in the general population, but 53.8% of children in foster care (Statistics Canada, 2022). The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (2021) has reported on how this overrepresentation within the child welfare system is a legacy of the residential school system and a perpetuation of a history of colonial policies and practices that have separated Indigenous children from their families and communities"--Introduction, page 3.
