ABOUT
About Deliberate Indifference
This work began as rigorous doctoral research and evolved into an accessible, visual narrative about how Canada built and maintained a housing system on reserves that generated poverty and dependency. It reframes on‑reserve housing not as a failure of First Nations, but as the predictable outcome of government housing for First Nations people.
Why We Wrote This
We wanted to make the systems visible—plainly and powerfully. The book connects policy dots across decades, showing how the Indian Act, departmental control, and finance exclusion shaped housing outcomes. It is a call to move from information to invitation: to imagine and build different systems grounded in justice and self‑determination.
