ohpikinawasowin/Growing a Child: Implementing Indigenous Ways of Knowing with Indigenous Families

$ 30.00

Contributors to this collection invert the long-held, colonial relationship between Indigenous peoples and systems of child welfare in Canada. Child welfare for Indigenous peoples that is informed and guided by Indigenous practices and understandings leads to reinvigorating traditional knowledges, practices, and ceremonies related to children and families that have existed for centuries. This book describes wisdom-seeking journeys and service-provision changes that occurred in Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8 territory on Turtle Island. Including nehiyaw (Cree) and Blackfoot teachings, this collection forms a whole related to the Turtle Lodge Teachings, which expresses nehiyaw stages of development, and works to undo the colonial trappings of Canada’s current child welfare system.
