| description | The overrepresentation of Aboriginal youth in child welfare services in Canada is a concerning reality. However, less is known of their experiences of child welfare services from their own perspective. This study explores Aboriginal youth’s thoughts of child welfare services in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The article is based on data from a research project on judicialization of poverty with urban Aboriginal youth who had an experience with child welfare system. The study is based on a symbolic interactionism perspective that takes into account how Aboriginal youth make meaning of child welfare intervention. The study finds that Aboriginal youth view child welfare intervention as a way to protect them from their difficult environmental circumstances associated with poverty. It concludes that issues associated with living in poverty need to be consider when addressing overrepresentation of Aboriginal youth in child welfare system. |
