Misipawistik First Nation will remove parents from homes

Misipawistik First Nation will remove parents from homes, not the children, under its new child-welfare policy. It becomes the second First Nation in Manitoba to do the turn-about, joining the Nisichawaysihk Cree Nation in Nelson House which rolled out a similar policy in 2002. Misipawistik’s new policy took effect March 17 and procedures are being developed to put it into practice.
