N2  - This article discusses questions and issues to be considered when conducting language assessments with Canadian Aboriginal children. Commonly used assessment practices that range from standardized testing to child-centered approaches, along with their strengths and limitations and evidence that might support or call into question their continued use with Aboriginal children are presented. Suggestions for the development of promising assessment practices and approaches for these children are proposed that might better represent the communication abilities and capture the existing needs of Canadian Aboriginal children
