DESCRIPTION:This conference aims to explore the various challenges that ind
 igenous people face in Canada\, and how students and future healthcare pro
 fessionals can address the needs of this population. In addition to explor
 ing common health issues\, we also aim to provide a better understanding o
 f the underlying human rights issues that are tightly linked to indigenous
  health. The conference will emphasize that the numerous health and social
  injustices faced by the indigenous people are not simply a problem of the
  past\, and still continue to this day.  There is an ongoing human rights 
 tribunal regarding the longstanding inequalities in First Nations child we
 lfare funding. The discrepancy in funding for indigenous children on reser
 ve compared to children off reserve is remarkable\, and during the confere
 nce\, a physician\, a lawyer\, and a social worker\, who are leading exper
 ts in the field\, will provide their perspectives in a panel discussion. R
 aising awareness about this issue is very important\, especially at this t
 ime\, as the final ruling for the tribunal is expected in April\, 2015.  T
 he conference will host several keynote speakers\, who will discuss indige
 nous human rights issues in various domains\, namely mental health\, women
 ’s rights\, and the ongoing fight to protect the environment against the i
 ndustry. Various workshops will provide the attendees with a chance to int
 eract with experienced workshop leaders and gain comprehensive understandi
 ng of the history of indigenous people in Canada\, the struggles they have
  faced and continue to face currently\, and what can be done now to addres
 s these issues.  Please contact indigenoushumanrightsmcgill [at] gmail.com
