On June 29, 2007, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) organized a National Day of Action. This one-day event was part of a broader strategy of the AFN, launched in the fall of 2006 to create awareness of First Nations issues; more specifically, it was a call for action against poverty. This book deals with this same issue, not from an advocacy or political viewpoint, but from an empirical and scientific perspective.
Aboriginal Well-Being: Canada’s Continuing Challenge can give us a better idea of where we ought to be concentrating our policy energies and resources. Aboriginal Well-Being is divided into three sections. The first looks at ways of measuring well-being, the second examines the Human Development Index (HDI), while the third focuses on the Community Well-Being (CWB) Index.
