Indigenous Child Welfare Research Network – A BC Strategy for Strengthening the Voices of our Children
 

Training Materials and Report Back

This toolkit is designed as a skill sharing resource for Indigenous people and those working in Indigenous child welfare and research, and/or within Indigenous communities. It is meant to highlight the stories and projects that are effective in our own communities.

The resources in this tool kit have been gathered through recommendations of what has worked for people in their own lives and work. The kit includes information on Indigenous identities, culture, education, child welfare, research methods and protocols, and community work. The kit is a living document that will continue to evolve after each training session, based on recommendations from participants and community members.

Several teachings in the toolkit have been developed in a specific context (for example, urban or rural research protocols). Other resources are meant only as an introduction to a concept (such as Indigenous research methodologies) or as examples of what one community is doing to address a particular issue. We hope the stories gathered here will highlight the wisdom of our diverse Indigenous communities, including Métis, Inuit, and First Nations (urban, rural, on and off reserve, status, and non-status).
