Housing realities of Indigenous youth
THE RIGHT TO HOME 
FOR FUTURE 
GENERATIONS
F
or many Indigenous youth in Ontario, the idea of a 
first home is not just a step forward – it is a matter 
of belonging.
On lands that have always held their families, 
languages and histories, the ability for Indigenous youth to live 
safely and securely can no longer be assumed. Housing, often 
reduced to numbers and policy, cuts deeper here. It is about the 
right to remain, to return and to call your own land home.
“Some of the realities the youth are facing today to access safe 
and stable housing [are about] having affordable housing,” 
says Hunter Corbiere, an Anishinaabekwe business owner from 
M’Chigeeng First Nation, now living in the Georgian Bay region.
