Supporting Henvey Inlet’s Children and Families

Anishinaabek Wiidosendiwak means “the people walking together.” It is a community-driven initiative that reflects the vision Henvey Inlet First Nation (HIFN) has for the health and wellbeing of our children and families.

Our Mission and Goal

Our mission is to build a child and family wellbeing Law and process to keep our children safe, strong, and connected to their Anishinaabe identity. Our goal is to help HIFN reclaim inherent jurisdiction over the care and protection of HIFN’s children and families.

About the Law

HIFN has begun the journey to develop our own Child and Family Wellbeing Law, under Bill C-92. The Law will reflect our community’s values and our responsibility to protect and support HIFN children and families.
