Appendix and Bibliography

The research for this snapshot was conducted using an internet search and on-line materials from various sources. Statistical and research institutions including Statistics Canada, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, Ontario Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs, and various international, national and provincial websites were thus accessed. In addition, archival data including organizational documents, annual reports, and strategic plans retrieved from organizational websites within Canada, the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand provided much of the content herein. The existing literature addressing the human rights of aboriginal people with disabilities was further considered through a review of journal databases, texts, and relevant on-line searches. Additionally, an important component to the research was the consultation with the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant’s partner David McNab, whose story as an Aboriginal person with a disability has enriched the research with personal sensitivity. His personal insights and interpretations were critical to the review. An aboriginal voice has also been provided by Laura J. Vukson’s reading of the available literature and knowledge from traditional Indigenous elders.

The methodology used in compiling this report thus included a preliminary review of the status of human rights for aboriginal people with disabilities in Canada, using the existing human rights framework and the limited statistical data available as the starting point. Placing the human rights of Canadian aboriginal people with disabilities within the global context was next. The existing statistics and the voice and opinions of Aboriginal people affected by these issues were considered central to this process. The literature review concludes with a brief discussion of the current gaps in legislation, information and services that are crucial to the exercising of human rights by aboriginal people with disabilities in Canada.
