policy issues faced by Indigenous peoples/communities

Order Description

This is a social work/ Indigenous course . APA format is very important to be used. i have uploaded some course articles and resources which you can use for this. please also follow all instructions and if you have any questions, please send me a message. Thanks again- please write # 188800 should work on this order. All instructions have been uploaded.

(Massage from the Instructor) : Some of you are wondering the best way to write this assignment. I am flexible in how you write it but the easiest way is to organize is to use sub- titles with the first one being “Question 1-Areas of Interest and policy issues”. Under that heading you can write a couple paragraphs on your first website, then follow that with your reflections on the second website chosen.  After that, you can move to- Question 2 * Strategies for social justice,decolonization, transformative action. Follow same routine as above-Follow that with a heading for Question 3 and follow same routine. As for the page requirements, all my papers DO NOT include the title page or references page in them. So this paper is 5-7 pages PLUS title and a references page. I will accept up to a 9 pages maximum double spaced paper.

Assignment Instruction

The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to some of the policy issues faced by Indigenous peoples/communities and how they are transforming them to meet their own needs. Furthermore, you will be introduced to two Indigenous organizations by travelling to two websites. You are expected to incorporate 6 course sources into the paper. This assignment shows various Indigenous policy organizations locally and nation-wide that are creating transformation by designing/ adapting policies from “within.” These sites represent a compilation of all of the course objectives, including identification of, resistance and renewal strategies of Indigenous people/ communities and Nations. Please note these questions are also designed to help you to identify your area of interest. Students are asked to visit 2 of the websites below, in detail, and provide three short answers to questions.
Question 1 * What is your Indigenous ‘policy’ area of interest (ie education, child welfare, youth justice etc) and how did the websites inform this area of interest? What are some of the policy issues/struggles witnessed at these two websites?
Question 2 * What strategies for social justice, decolonization, transformative action, and/ or regeneration in your specific interest area did you witness at 2 of the web sites?
Question 3 * How will these teachings and information from the websites inform your policy analysis in the future and your social work practice with Indigenous people/ communities?

Tour
Each student is to virtually travel to two of the below websites which reflect an Indigenous organization. Try to decide based on an area of interest you might have. Your choice to either quickly browse all 6 and narrow your choice of 2 specific, or just pick 2 to start with and tour. (only 2 are required to be incorporated into your answers for all three question, meaning  the same 2 websites toured for each question)
