About ANISHINAABE ABINOOJII FAMILY SERVICES
Philosophy The philosophy of Anishinaabe Abinoojii Family Services is founded on the recognition of the importance of the anishinaabe family system and the potential of the many traditional methods, strengths and resources within our communities to effect change in the quality and scope of our supportive social services.

Therefore, our children are sacred and the responsibility for the care, protection and nurturing of our children extends to all Anishinaabe people in our tribal territory.

Our Mission Our Mission is to protect Anishinaabe Abinoojii (Anishinaabe children) and to support the healing, wellbeing and strengthening of families through Abinoojii Inakonigewin, to achieve the preservation of families.
