The records on our site emerge from the cultural and physical genocide that the Canadian government and churches conducted through the Indian Residential School System, including the ongoing impacts.

Description
"In this guide, I share knowledge relevant to two target populations: (a) 24 parents desiring to raise healthy, strong and responsible male children and youth; and (b) community workers and other leaders working with abusive and abused First Nations males. I draw on my formal education and what I learned nonformally and informally to be successful in my work as a probation officer, parole officer, social worker, program planner, community leader, manager, postsecondary educator, son, brother, father, uncle and trusted friend" (Warrior-Caregivers : Understanding the Challenges and Healing of First Nations Men : A Guide Prepared for the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, pgs. 23-24).
