healthy self, healthy family, and healthy community
KIDO, the “KI Family Law”, has a vision to create a healthy self, healthy family, and healthy community. The emphasis of service is on family healing and maintaining connections within families and the community. KIDO’s mission is that our dibenjikewinan (families) can raise our awaashishag (children) and oshkaadizag (youth) in healthy homes. KI developed the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug Dibenjikewin Onaakonikewin (KI Family Law) to take over child and family services from mainstream children’s aid societies. Our Miinikozowin (inherent power) is where the authority of KI comes from. While An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children, youth, and families (also known as Bill C-92) is the federal law under which KI’s law is coordinated with other governments, the MDK services of KIDO are developed by the community, for the community.
