The Perpetuation of Subordination - Challenges to Aboriginal Employmen

The discussion of a hidden curriculum (Eisner, 1985 Jackson 1968) wherein students picture more in the public tame system than what the direct or written curriculum intends - or intentionally leaves out - is oddly sub repayable in the context of looking at the experience of the Aboriginal working-age populations in Canada. Bowles and Gintis (1976) suggest that schools maintain the overriding capitalist system of mainstream society due to particular social relations taking place in school communities. If public education in Canada is not correcting historical and social biases, it perpetuates disadvantage and the placing of Aboriginal peoples at a lower social standing in Canada. How then are they expected to be successful in avenues manage the employment market? Jean B. Millers discussion of the dominant/subordinate issue between men and women (1995) is an excellent template to die the plight of Aboriginals and employment obstacles in Canada. Aboriginals have been subordi nate to the colonizing powers for centuries. Morrison (1995) outlines many barriers to form in the workplace, but the single most frequently mentioned barrier is loss (235). It is no surprise then that despite recent gains in education-level completion, Canadas Aboriginal populations are not seeing corresponding gains in employment.The death four centuries of Canadian history have seen many dark periods for the experiences of first of all Nations, Inuit, and Mtis. Topics such as treaty disputes, the residential school system, gird stand-offs over territories, or disease, substance abuse, and the situation on reserves obtain provincially recommended textbooks. These discussions of their past, however, contain little to no Aboriginal perspective. ... ...tagne, F. (2004) The Aboriginal custody What Lies Ahead - CLBC Commentary.
