Debwewin Report

Abstract

Debwewin, the eastern Ojibway Anishinaabe word for ‘truth’ or ‘to speak from the heart’, captures the essence behind this research that explores racism in the Northern Ontario cities of North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins. Questionnaires and interviews were compiled in the three cities, showing the need for more proactive efforts to counter racism and to increase public education on the topic.
