A One-Day Snapshot of Aboriginal Youth in Custody Across Canada : Phase II

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The authors would like to thank the following members of the National Youth Justice Research Advisory Working Group for their advice, guidance and assistance in collecting the Snapshot data. This project would not have been possible without their collaboration and support .

In addition, the authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the work of the Sharing Circle Research Team - Art Shofley (Facilitator), Rick Kosowan (Co-facilitator) and Holly Pelky (Note taker) - whose dedication to this project and tireless efforts during the summer of 2003 were instrumental in better understanding the experiences of Aboriginal youth in custody.

Finally, we would like to thank the numerous youth who participated in the Sharing Circles across the country. We can only hope our interpretation of their words give adequate meaning to their experiences.
