  5. Control of Institutional Orders • Aboriginals don’t really have any power • Three different institutions that impact life and quality of life: • Health • Education • Economy

  6. Self-government • Sovereignty lies with the Crown • Current legislation • Provincial support? • Aboriginal demands

  7. Analysis • Institutionalized discrimination • Limited access to resources • Placing the blame on individual defect • Who’s responsible? • Individual or the social system?

  8. First Nations Game • Rules: • After getting an answer right, roll the dice and move ahead according to the number on the dice- you will only move ahead if the answer is correct- if it is wrong, the other team will get a chance to steal and then will continue with their regular turn • If you land on a picture, your team gets to answer a bonus question and if answers correctly, roll again and move; however picture/bonus questions are not up for steals! • The first team to get to the Canadian flag wins! GOOD LUCK TEAMS! The winning team will get a prize!
