| Abstract: |
Despite years of discussion, the topic of Aboriginal housing remains a contentious issue in Canadian society. Many Aboriginal families are negatively influenced by the self-perpetuating problems that characterize an ongoing housing crisis. For Aboriginal people in Canada the search for adequate, suitable, and affordable housing has been a frustrating process. Their search has drawn attention to the complex relationship between people and the built environment. It highlights the importance of our basic need for shelter and reminds us that” … houses are much more than commodities or bearers of architectural style: they can also be seen as texts or stories through which social and personal meaning emerge” |
