WE HAVE THE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN THE ANISHINAABE WAY

The Koognaasewin Project Team is pleased to share the Anishinaabe Laws and Customs Research on Child Wellbeing Summary and Final Report. The child wellbeing practices of Anishinaabe captured in this report inform and support the development of the Draft Child Wellbeing Law and new System Design and Service Delivery model.

Beginning in 2020, the North Shore First Nations initiated the planning to create our own Child Wellbeing Law. We will no longer be bound to Canada’s Western laws. We are Anishinaabe, and we will decide what is best for our children. In the coming months and years, we will be asking you to talk with us, to share with us, and to dream with us, moving us all to rethink what is possible.
