First Nations Urban Migraton and the Importance of "Urban Nomads" in Canadian Plains Cities: a Perspective From the Streets
Description:
A study based on personal experience of the author, and the use of anthropological theory, that looks at small groups of urban homeless ('street people'). This paper shows that they are far from powerless, and use many survival strategies to live in the city, one of which is networking, in terms of how they are connected in urban settings, as well as between rural (often nearby reserve) & urban communities. Native & non-Native transients have important roles in subsistence strategies necessary in the process of First Nations urbanization, & these are often overlooked. References.
