Our purpose is to inform the everyday work of policy maker and practitioners to improve the lives of Indigenous children living in Saskatchewan. For decades, First Nations and Métis children have been overrepresented in child welfare systems across Canada. Despite research, reviews, and recommendations, this trend continues. While Indigenous children come into the care of child welfare for a variety of reasons, often the primary reasons are poverty, parental mental health and addictions, and poor housing. Once in care, it is assumed that Indigenous children are in a safer place and their needs are met; however, research indicates that for Indigenous children, being involved with the child welfare system can directly contribute to negative health and social outcomes at an early age and throughout their lifetimes, further creating intergenerational trauma. The session seeks to be provocative and thoughtful, questioning what is taken for granted in our current policies and practices that might be placing Indigenous children at further risk, while creating a respectful environment for questions and dialogue for workshop participants.
