"The Special Rapporteur finds that housing conditions for Indigenous peoples around the world are overwhelmingly abhorrent and too often violate the right to adequate housing," the report reads.
"There's 15 people living in a home that's the size of a trailer, so of course they have to sleep in shifts when there's only so much room," she said."In a country with more fresh water than anywhere else in the world, 75 per cent of the reserves in Canada have contaminated water, with communities such as Attawapiskat declaring a state of emergency," it reads.
"Lacking secure, adequate housing, Indigenous women often become the targets of further violence because of their gender and their Indigenous identity," it says.
We have to be better with this issue
And how is that the governments fault?
This is digusting in a country like Canada. Trudeau spend billions to build houses in other countries and previous governments haven’t been any better. No Canadian should be living like this First Nations or not Time Candians looked after Canadians first and foremost
Our Government has to do alot Better for Our Indigenous Peoples!!!, A.S.P. UN REAL!!!!
This is a prime example why the Indian Act needs to be scrapped. Accountability must be introduced along with any expenditures by federal government. Allow private ownership on reserves to encourage pride of place, ensure adequate building practices. On another note screw the UN
Shame on the government for making holes in the wall, breaking windows and spray painting all that graffiti.
While they are correct, the UN has no business in Canada Why hasnt Justin fixed this with his majority, while he had it.
Got any pictures of the chief and band council residences?
This is terrible but how about showing some of the First Peoples leaders homes.
Never a good news story about Indigenous People in Canada. Is there any good news stories about indigenous people in Canada.
Welcome to Canada, Eh ?
This house looks ok to me! Well with the free roof windows and doors!
Harpers fault right CTV?
please tell us how much money is being given to the band, without giving all the relevant information the news media is being dishonest and forcing an agenda on it's viewers.
I’m busy looking after my home I don’t have time to look after theirs too !
Why are we not looking at 3-D housing?
