 Towards a grounded understanding of the forms of homelessness experienced by Indigenous women in Canada 
The increased visibility of homelessness amongst Indigenous citizens, particularly women, is a phenomenon which has drawn the attention of many researchers over the past ten years. Some of the literature produced in its wake argues that in spite of first level similarities between Indigenous and non-indigenous realities, the categories proposed to describe the forms of homelessness in the society as a whole do not allow proper consideration of Indigenous perspectives related to “home” nor can they facilitate an understanding of the deep causes of the overrepresentation of Indigenous individuals in the streets of Canadian cities. Resting upon concepts and logics that bear little meaning in Indigenous contexts, measures designed to fight against homelessness routinely miss their targets. On the basis of the exploration of a life story gathered during my PhD research, I propose to take a deeper look at these considerations in a Québécois context to illustrate their relevance.
