Abstract

This chapter will discuss older Canadian Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit): their experience with COVID-19, their profound sense of isolation, and their demonstrated strength. The basic framework is a human rights filter that states that everyone has the right to be free from harm. In this context, elder mistreatment, long-term care facilities, Indigenous peoples, prison sentences, residential schools, problems, possibilities, resources, and stories will be reviewed. This ode to Indigenous older peoples is also a call to caring communities and elder abuse prevention networks to reach out and be more inclusive, compassionate, and loving.
