The purpose of the research was to explore the issue of Aboriginal homelessness in Winnipeg in order to find answers to these questions: 1. What is Aboriginal homelessness? What does it mean for an individual to be both Aboriginal and homeless? Is there a possibility that this state is different from homelessness in the mainstream community? If so, how? 2. What are the roots of Aboriginal homelessness? What are the contributing factors? 3. What solutions are there to this problem? What has helped some Aboriginal homeless people to change their lives around? What needs to happen to deal with the issue in a thoughtful and strategic way so that more people will be positively impacted?
