  abstract: Social services are in crisis. After numerous service cuts, many of its jobs are now short-term, part-time and non-unionized, prompting us to ask why is there not a greater public outcry for helping people in need? This book applies decolonized, critical analysis to highlight what is often hidden from view for most Canadians, the personal trauma and communal devastation inflicted on Indigenous people by past and present colonialism, and how neoliberal tax cuts, austerity and privatization are creating more inequality, homelessness and despair among both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The authors advocate for social service providers to become social activists to delegitimatize colonial and neoliberal policies by working in solidarity with progressive, grass roots social movements committed to Indigenous Treaty rights, and to economic, environmental and social justice for everyone.
