The South Island Indigenous Authority (SIIA) is in the process of developing an Indigenous dispute resolution model as a component of our draft child and family wellness law.
In a historic move, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) recently delivered a monumental decision affirming the constitutional validity of Bill C-92, An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Metis children, youth and families (“the Federal Act”).
From February 29- March 1, SIIA and the Centre for Indigenous Research and Community Led Engagement (CIRCLE) co-hosted the SIIA-CIRCLE Gathering on Indigenous Jurisdiction over Child Welfare.
