Kainai released the report aimed at addressing racism in the community as well with neighbouring towns and cities on Thursday after two years of research. Dr. Gabrielle Lindstrom, an assistant professor of Indigenous Studies at Mount Royal University and a principal researcher on the project, said they defined racism through an Indigenous perspective and found a large majority of people from the Kainai had experienced some form of discrimination, with many experiencing it in their childhood.
The report had three main goals: to reduce racism and its impacts on Indigenous people, to increase awareness of racism towards Indigenous people and identify the root cause of racism towards Indigenous people. A survey of non-Indigenous people in the area found 61 per cent of people felt they were allies to Indigenous people, 17 per cent were considered bystanders and 22 per cent were deniers.
“These are relatively ineffective in eliminating, let alone addressing the health risks that have been normalized in society,” said Lindstrom. “Racism is learned, it begins in the home and it’s reinforced in society and it’s normalized in society in ways where it functions, almost invisibly and there’s no kinds of professional training methods to disrupt these kinds of really deeply held beliefs.”
