Although unique in many aspects, the current social justice framework usually creates limited room to address the issues facing indigenous communities. This forum examines six (6) principles of the human rights-based approach as a model to advance the rights of indigenous people as an alternative approach to address the issues.

Learning Objectives:

  1. To discuss the state of representation and recognition of Indigenous people as a group in social work education, research, and practice and its implication on the socio-economic, spiritual, and physical well-being of the communities.
  2. Apply the principles of the human rights-based approach to programming and advocacy of indigenous people's rights. Also, they would be able to critique the model based on a critical appraisal of its utility to various scripted scenarios and offer suggestions for improvement.
  3. To articulate how the human rights-based approach could apply to marginalized groups. They would outline ways they plan to continue beyond the conference to their workspaces and communities. Including, ways to make issues of indigenous persons, central to their social cause.
