“…This approach continues to this day; organizations of and for marginalized and less fortunate people put indicators to work to draw attention to their situation, to mobilize resources, and for other related purposes. An example from Vancouver is the indicator report 'An Urban Aboriginal Life,' compiled and released by the Centre for Native Policy and Research, which draws upon traditional Aboriginal concepts alongside statistics from standard Canadian sources to demonstrate the extent to which the urban Aboriginal community in Vancouver constitutes an underclass (Cardinal 2006). The interpretation of indicators referring to social groups calls for a variety of assumptions based on the social distinction and distance between the interpreter and the group being encapsulated in the statistic.…”

“…Community health workers provide health information for Travellers and arrange for their medical appointments. Marginalization encountered by both groups impedes their access to the justice system and is exacerbated by disproportionally higher incarceration rates compared to the general population (Cardinal, 2006;Royall, 2010). An Aboriginal legal organization in Toronto provides assistance to Aboriginal victims and offenders that include Gladue services (which provide judges with contextual information about the systemic discrimination of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada in order to better understand the background factors that affect an offender).…”

To what extent are voluntary organizations included in the policy processes that make decisions regarding the needs and interests of Indigenous groups? As politically underrepresented groups, both urban Aboriginal Peoples and Travellers rely on voluntary organizations to provide culturally appropriate programs and services and to advocate on their behalf. Applying a scalar analysis, this project isolated three key concepts that are critical to their inclusion in policy processes. First, is the incorporation of their issues and interests in cultural programs and services. Second, is group representation in policy processes. And third is their collaboration with government. On balance, it appears that urban Aboriginal Peoples in Canada have moved closer to inclusion in policy processes than Travellers.

“…T he past decade has witnessed growing interest in the urbanization of indigenous populations worldwide (this issue; see also Cardinal ; Delugan ; Fox and Rivera‐Salgado ; Morgan and Gulson ; Taylor and Bell ; Wilson and Peters ). This academic attention is matched by policy interest in indigenous urbanization as a global phenomenon.…”

Resumen Este artículo se basa en fuentes etnográficas dispares con la finalidad de examinar la relación entre la urbanización de la población de la Amazonía y su lucha por los derechos al territorio. En el argumento que ésta dinámica contraria a la intuición, merece una mayor atención, especialmente porque recientes políticas sobre la urbanización indígena ocultan dicha posibilidad. Específicamente muestro cómo en la Amazonía: (1) las cadenas migratorias que conectan remotas ciudades con las tierras indígenas, a menudo han sido forjadas por los líderes indígenas que viajan a los lugares donde reside el poder del estado, con el fin de demandar sus derechos sobre el territorio; (2) la vida en las ciudades puede servir para politizar a los citadinos indígenas, con consecuencias a largo plazo en sus luchas por el territorio; (3) el movimiento de la población indígena entre las ciudades y sus territorios de origen puede mantener y difundir estos efectos políticos a través del espacio y del tiempo. Presto atención a estas dinámicas con el objetivo de cuestionar la posible justificación de los textos políticos de la desposesión de las tierras indígenas enmarcando la urbanización indígena como genérica, inevitable y, en última instancia, desempoderando las posiciones indígenas sobre el territorio.
