Three agencies and one First Nation came together to plan a traditional camping experience for the youth of these agencies/organizations. The three agencies were Sudbury Metis Youth Centre, Native Child and Family Centre, Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre and the First Nation was Wahnapitae First Nations.

A review of the literature on parenting practices shows that substantial differences existed particularly in looking at Native parenting practices before contact (van de Sande, 1995). Traditional Native parents taught by example and use teasing and ignoring to discipline children as opposed to hitting or scolding (Trigger, 1985). Traditional European parents viewed children as the property of the father and the sole responsibility of the parents (Martens, 1988) while Native parents believed that children were gifts from the Creator (The Northwest Indian Child Welfare Institute, 1986). Raising children was a community responsibility as opposed to the individual families responsibility (The Northwest Indian Child Welfare Institute, 1986).

As the participants shared their concerns about this system, the theme shifted over time to the effect that residential schools had on their parenting. We have taken this opportunity to share the written word of their voices.

Working through their respective tribal or band councils, these communities initiated partnerships with the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria in order to co-deliver university-accredited, career-laddered, community-based training that has enabled them to introduce and operate new programs for children and families.

Customs and traditions that manifest the unique beliefs and values of Aboriginal peoples are passed on from generation to generation-through child-rearing practices. Children are the heart of the family and community. Child-rearing is a sacred and valued responsibility.

Research into the impact of removing children from their homes due to child welfare issues has contributed to our understanding of the significant negative consequences on both the child and family (Bowlby, 1982; Johnson, 1983; Olsen, 1982). Further studies into the impact of government policies on Native people have clearly demonstrated that Native children face additional trauma; not only is the child removed from their home, they are removed from their community and culture (Andres, 1981; Bagley, 1985; Hudson, 1981; Johnston, 1983; Richard, 1989).

Authors: Greenwood, Margo Abstract: Integration of programs and services for Aboriginal people (status and non-status Indian, Metis and Inuit peoples) is often regarded as a way for the government to reduce it's funding and in many cases abdicate its fiduciary obligations. While there is a great need for the effective delivery of early childhood services in Aboriginal communities, safeguarding against processes that promote the assimilation of Aboriginal peoples is even more critical.
