It provides a historical perspective of Indigenous people regarding the relationship that has evolved since first contact with colonial settlers.
This toolkit highlights the history of Indigenous people and the stereotypes and viewpoints of some landlords when renting to Indigenous people. The toolkit also provides detailed information regarding Indigenous people and what to expect regarding traditional practices that Indigenous people have been practicing for thousands of years.
