Child Well-Being Law
Through a seven-year community consultation process, the Anishinabek Nation drafted the Anishinabek Nation Child Well-Being Law under First Nations’ inherent jurisdiction to child and youth well-being, and family unity. In 2015, the Anishinabek Nation Chiefs-in-Assembly approved the Law in-principle and directed the Anishinabek Nation to present the Law to its 39 member First Nations for their individual review and approval.
The Anishinabek Nation Children’s Commissioner is responsible to oversee implementation, compliance, and enforcement of the Anishinabek Nation Child Well-Being Law.
22 Anishinabek First Nations have chosen to enact the Law
To date, with the support of Koganaawsawin, 22 Anishinabek First Nations have chosen to enact the Law in their communities. The Law acknowledges, respects, and supports the primary role of the parents, guardians, families, and communities in safeguarding and promoting the well-being of Anishinaabe children and youth.
