Child Poverty on Reserves in Canada is a growing issue. This issue has not been thought to be resolved by the Canadian government. The Child Poverty on Reserves is issued by underfunded schooling and child welfare services straining these children from their opportunities. Canada’s gains in the economy are not shared to benefit these poor conditions established on the reserves. The reserves are being overlooked by the Canadian Government and economy. The way Canada is viewing these conflicts are ‘unimportant’. These children’s future is on the line. The children are the future generation and can help Canada grow economically and socially. Changes need to be made to solve these issues.
