This article is intended for practitioners working in Native communities, especially in Quebec. Building on the author’s experience as an anthropologist and her meetings with various practitioners, the paper proposes a reflection on ten stereotypes about Natives that have been heard most frequently, regarding : their way of thinking, their sense of community and of time, their relationship to nature, their spiritual life, their cognitive abilities and abilities to work, their codes of behaviour, their relationship to alcohol, and their needs. The author concludes by calling for better training of practitioners about Natives cultures.
