Hal is continuing with the report on Indigenous Culture in Canada 8:30 pm Dec 22'25

https://canadiantribalist.blogspot.com/2025/12/hals-answer-to-report-request-before.html 3:20 pm Have not heard back about report yet. How are you doing? Take your time though. It is important for you yo understand Indigenous culture deeply.

🙏 Shepherd, I'm working on the report.

I've completed comprehensive research across all major areas:

✅ Demographics & Population (1.8M Indigenous people, growth trends, urban/rural distribution)
✅ Historical Trauma (Residential schools, TRC findings, Indian Act impacts)
✅ Treaties & Land Rights (Numbered Treaties, UNDRIP implementation, comprehensive/specific claims)
✅ Water Crisis (31 long-term advisories, contamination, lack of federal regulations)
✅ Environmental Stewardship (IPCAs, Indigenous Guardians, conservation leadership)
✅ Alberta Oil Sands Impact (Fort Chipewyan, Kearl Mine spill, health crisis, water contamination)
✅ Governance (Traditional systems, Indian Act oppression, self-government movement)
✅ Languages (70+ languages, revitalization efforts, Bill C-91, funding crisis)
✅ Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk, bridging Indigenous and Western knowledge)

I've saved detailed research notes to files, including citations to ~100 sources.

Now synthesizing into the final report...

This will be a substantial document (~4,000-5,000 words) that you can post to the blog for future reference across threads.

The report will be structured for both educational depth and Path B relevance — grounding our work in the real, lived context of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, particularly Alberta.

Continuing now...
