Supporting Aboriginal Student Success

Discussion Questions
1. There are similarities in the challenges experienced by Aboriginal students and by other
students who are also members of marginalized groups. Based on the article, what
challenges are more unique to Aboriginal students?
2. The authors frame their discussion of greater support for Aboriginal students around the three Ps:
properties, policies, and practices. Describe how you would use this framework to review and
evaluate a student housing program in regard to its support of marginalized students.
3. In considering the three Ps, the authors suggest that adjustments in the physical aspects
of student housing may not be possible but that adjustments to policy and practice are
always possible. These types of efforts, along with eliminating financial barriers, are "part
of a broader movement within Canada which recognizes that the disparity of educational
attainment between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples will not disappear unless
intentional actions are taken to remove systemic and social barriers to the participation of
Aboriginal students." What is your reaction to this description of Canada's commitment to
cultural equity?
4. The Indigenous Wholistic Framework presented in the article graphically represents the
Indigenous perspective about ways of knowing and being. It communicates powerfully the
critical interconnectedness of the person and the community and the values that ensure
that this relationship remains tantamount to growth and well-being. Compare and contrast
this framework with that of other student development approaches or philosophies.
5. The authors note that "approximately 54% of Aboriginal peoples live in urban centers, and
46% live in rural or remote locations." Discuss the needs of student populations that have
resided in urban centers as opposed to those living in more remote areas. How might the
demographics of these populations differ, and how might cultural requisites be applied?
6. The authors' findings related to financing housing accommodations are compelling. In your
opinion, should institutions of higher learning (and housing departments) consider alternative
rental charges for students who cannot afford current on-campus housing rates? For example,
they could offer rental rates based on a sliding scale as determined by ability to pay.
7. The article describes the challenges associated with finding family housing options for
Aboriginal populations. What does your campus offer in the family housing realm? Discuss
your thoughts on whether campus housing should expand to accommodate a greater
variety of family configurations.
