Treaty 7 community study : family violence and community stress / consultant, Brenda ManyFingers. : Z1-1991/1-41-61E-PDF

“The Treaty 7 Community Study was commissioned by the Royal Commission of Aboriginal People in June of 1993. The broad mandate of the Commission is reflected by approximately 100 community-based and 300 commissioned works in Canada. This particular study is one of three in existence through the Commission and is representative of the Treaty 7 region. The Commission has had several levels of enquiry, ranging from exploring and defining various problem areas, to establishing national and community-based solutions. The Treaty 7 Community Study is primarily solution-oriented and exploratory in nature, with a focus on a number of issues facing both tribal and urban communities, namely, family violence and community stress. The study endeavours to explore cultural definitions of family violence. More specifically, is family violence, as perceived by aboriginal people, consistent with those views held by western society? Further, we wanted to explore family violence in the context of societal structures such as gender differences, as well as, socio-political, judicial, and cultural differences. In other words what impact, if any, do these institutions and societal structures have upon family violence?”--Intro., p. 3.
