Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations signed a Letter of Accord to reform child and family services for First Nations. Canada is providing funding of $441,176 to FSIN to begin its work with communities. Their findings will contribute greatly to long-term strategic planning and the redesign of how child and family services are delivered to First Nations. This will be a community and land- based model of governance based on Treaty and Inherent rights.
