Therefore, today many of us are living on,    building on, and in some case, destroying the remains of Indian lands where            people’s roots run deep.  Given this, how would you deal with the problem of an Aboriginal native trespassing on someone’s land when he or she claims to be visiting an ancestral burial ground, for example? What could you say or do so as not to totally alienate the Aboriginal native and thereby risk losing trust             and co-operation? 2.             Racially and Culturally Rooted Conflicts Over the past, there have been a number of conflicts between the police and the First Nations People (i.e. Oka, Caledonia, etc.).  What training does the Ontario Police College (Aylmer, Ontario) provide on defusing racially and   culturally rooted conflicts? What training does your provincial or municipal      police department in which you live or work provide to officers?  Is training               enough to understanding the underlying conflicts?  What community agencies (private or public) are available as referrals, or for mediation of such conflicts?  Discuss what should be provided to police officers to defuse, mediate, and resolve racially and culturally rooted conflicts yet maintain trust and co-operation?   3.         Aboriginal Women in Law EnforcementHow many women police officers are there in Canada (in the federal, provincial, and municipal law enforcement agencies),...

Aboriginal Women in Law Enforcement
Law enforcement in Canada: This is public-sector police forces that are associated with and commissioned to the three levels of government: municipal (both lower and upper-tier), provincial, and federal. 
Women in Canada Police Force:
· In 2015, women continued to be increasingly represented in the higher ranks of police services. The proportion of senior officers who were female has more than doubled in the past decade, from 5.5% in 2005 to 12.4% in 2015, the highest proportion ever recorded.
· While women accounted for about one-third (34%) of total personnel employed by police services on the 2014 snapshot date, they were found most often in civilian positions (57% of women employed in police services) and less often in police officer positions (43% of women employed in police services).
· Among civilian employees, almost 9 in 10 (87%) clerical support staff were women, as were over three-quarters of communications/dispatch employees (76%). Women represented almost 6 in 10 of those employed as managers and professionals (57%) and as school crossing guards (56%). However, in comparison to men, women were much less often employed as recruits (22%) and by-law enforcement/parking control officers (30%) and security officers/guards (37%).
· Since data became available in 1986, women have made up the majority of those employed in civilian positions in police services. The gap was narrowest in the late-1980s when women occupied between 55 and 59% of civilian positions and men occupied 41 to 45%. Since then,
