Description

Essays in this collection explore the meaning and scope of Indigenous homelessness in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They argue that effective policy and support programs aimed at relieving Indigenous homelessness must be rooted in Indigenous conceptions of home, land, and kinship, and cannot ignore the context of systemic inequality, institutionalization, and landlessness, among other things, that stem from a history of colonialism.
