    Service social autochtone : l’incorporation des visions autochtones du monde
    (Consortium Erudit, 2014) Moeke-Pickering, Taima; Partridge, Cheryle
    Dans cet article, on discute l’élaboration et la mise en place d’un programme de service social autochtone (1), et les raisons pour lesquelles il a été établi dans un établissement universitaire traditionnel. On se concentre sur le discours associé aux visions sociales autochtones concernant le service social, et le positionnement des programmes établis par les collectivités autochtones en vue de s’adapter aux conditions universitaires traditionnelles. On va également démontrer comment les enseignements autochtones sont utilisés comme « modèles de passage de la théorie à la pratique », et sont des exemples de la façon dont les étudiantes et étudiants incorporent dans leurs stages pratiques leurs visions autochtones du monde.

    Aboriginal Social Work: Incorporating Aboriginal worldviews in social work field practice
    (Consortium Erudit, 2014) Moeke-Pickering, Taima; Partridge, Cheryle
    This paper discusses the development and positioning of a Native social work program, and why it was established within a mainstream University institute. It will focus on the discourse associated with Aboriginal social work worldviews and the positioning of curricula established by Aboriginal communities to adapt to mainstream academia. This paper will also show how Aboriginal Teachings are utilized as “theory to practice” models and provide examples and insights into how students are incorporating Aboriginal worldviews in their field placements.

    Residential Schools: The Intergenerational Impacts on Aboriginal Peoples
    (2010-12-20T21:21:13Z) Partridge, Cheryle
    Many authors, historians and researchers concur with the idea that residential schools have impacted generation after generation of Aboriginal Peoples in this country. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the federal government wanted Aboriginal peoples to abandon their traditional beliefs and adopt western-based values and religions. The investigation of the role and impacts of residential schools on Aboriginal traditional knowledge and mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being must be studied within the context of colonization and genocide. Residential schools were funded by the federal government, but were operated by various religious institutions. The goal of residential schools was institutionalized assimilation by stripping Aboriginal peoples of their language, culture and connection with family. Although the assaults on the first peoples of this land have been devastating and intergenerational, as discussed within this article, it is with pride that we celebrate the resilience and tenacity of the holistic well-being of Aboriginal peoples. We are still here.
