Issues of conformity and assimilation of the Indigenous people have continuously resulted in a negative impact to their psychological well-being; this is seen through their current living conditions, their challenges in obtaining security of food and employment, and insufficient aid from the Government of Canada.
Although significant changes have been made in the 21st century the Canadian Government has still not taken enough action in ensuring that indigenous communities have a safe environment to live in. Their communities suffer from improper medical care and when available to health care in larger communities they are faced with discrimination. Indigenous communities still suffer from contaminated water and when they are talked about in media coverages, they spread false information including discrimination, racism, and stereotyping.
-Nursing stations with high turnover rates due to medical professionals being brought out to the locations.
-Urban medical centers are hard to access for those in remote locations due to distance and weather conditions.
-Non-remote Indigenous communities have easier access to health but are faced with prejudice.
-Many Indigenous people reported that when seeking treatment for TB they are left with misdiagnosis.
-The Canadian Government is responsible for making sure that health care professionals follow the Hippocratic Oath and should set consequences for those who don't.
-Walkerton, Ontario, a predominantly white town. In 2000 there was E. Coli contamination in the drinking water. Killed 7 people, left many ill.
-Kashechewan, Ontario Cree community. In 2005 there was E. Coli contamination in the drinking water. Zero deaths.
-Very similar cases. Both had harmful drainage that contaminated the water. The chlorination malfunctioned and the back did not work. Both water operators did not have complete training.
-The news coverage for Walkerton water operator is described as responsible for his actions.
-The news coverage for Kashechewan water operator is described as infantile and incapable.
-The Canadian Government allowing prejudicial judgment in the media goes against all actions they have been trying to take to gain trust in the indigenous communities again.

The government does not provide indigenous people with sufficient aid, this is illustrated in the journal articles:
"Water Insecurity in Ontario First Nations: An Exploratory Study on Past Interventions and the Need for Indigenous Water Governance" which focuses on the clean water problem in indigenous communities, and "Indigenous and non-Indigenous people experiencing homelessness and mental illness in two Canadian cities: A retrospective analysis and implications for culturally informed action" which expand upon homelessness among Indigenous people
According to the scholarly article "Water Insecurity in Ontario First Nations: An Exploratory Study on Past Interventions and the Need for Indigenous Water Governance"
The study "Indigenous and non-Indigenous people experiencing homelessness and mental illness in two Canadian cities: A retrospective analysis and implications for culturally informed action" indicates that:
