  Big Thinking\n\nAssociation: Federation for the Humanities and Social Sci
 ences\n\nAccess Level: General public\n\nDescription: As Canada approaches
  its 147th birthday, longstanding inequalities affecting  First Nations c
 hildren, youth and families linger as successive governments  have failed
  to implement solutions to address the problem. As politicians  focus on i
 ncremental equality, children and young people in Canada are  working tog
 ether in a spirit of active reconciliation  to thread principles  of justi
 ce and equity across all areas of experience for First Nations  peoples. D
 r. Blackstock’s Big Thinking lecture will describe the issues  that the ch
 ildren are concerned about, the peaceful and progressive actions  they ar
 e taking to address the problems and the results of their collective  work
 s. A member of the Gitksan Nation, Dr. Blackstock has worked in the field
  of  child and family services for over 20 years. An author of over 50  pu
 blications, Dr. Blackstock’s key interests include exploring, and  addre
 ssing, the causes of disadvantage for Aboriginal children and families  b
 y promoting equitable and culturally based interventions. Current professi
 onal interests include holding fellowships with the Ashoka  Foundation, J
 .W. McConnell Family Foundation and the Trudeau Foundation. See here for a
