Using a case study of a social circus program developed for Inuit youth in Northern Quebec, this research analyzes how social service programs developed for indigenous youth must be understood and designed in relation to colonial history.

Youths’ acts of resistance to the program are analyzed as microinteractional efforts toward decolonization rather than instances of “maladaptive” behavior. We discuss how such programs can foster decolonization and the implications of such an approach for program evaluation. |
