status confirmed that the "already well-known disparities" between Aboriginal health and that of non-Aboriginal Canadians are severe (Adelson, 2005, p. S45). Health disparities indicate that a specific population exhibits
a disproportionate burden of disease. This health inequalities point to underlying causes of the disparities and many of these lie outside of what is typically considered to be the domain
of "health," per se (Adelson, 2005). The following examination of Canadian Aboriginal health status will explore the link between socioeconomic status and unemployment and Aboriginal health outcomes. Socioeconomic determinants,
of course, encompass employment, but this health determinant is so crucial to positive outcomes that it will be an object of particular focus. Other socioeconomic determinants encompass "infrastructure, housing,...environment
and education" (Adelson, 2005, p. S45). Scholars who address Aboriginal health studies agree that the problems associated with Aboriginal health can be traced to problems that are entrenched in
the history of relations between Aboriginal populations and the nation-state (Adelson, 2005). Health disparities are related to and evolve from economic, social and political inequalities and not to any intrinsic
Aboriginal trait. The formulation of the reserve system--being forced to relocate communities to new and unfamiliar land--the forced removal of children from their families, who were then institutionalized--inadequate services to
those Aboriginal people living on reserves--in fact--the entire history of "colonialist and paternalistic relations" between the government and the indigenous people of Canada contributes to the current situation (Adelson, 2005,
p. S46). Societal inequities take a high toll in the form of increased disease, disability and premature mortality. In 2001, statistics how that 17 percent of off-reserve Aboriginal people
and 53 percent of urban Inuit live in crowded housing conditions, which compares to only 7 percent in the general Canadian population. Adequate housing is a high priority for all
