The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people. The idea for the directory arose from the desire to make information about Aboriginal organizations more available to the public. This directory was first published in 1975 and has grown considerably since its initial edition, which had 16 pages compared to the 100 pages of the present edition. The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Aboriginal cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises. The editorial committee has made every effort to present in this directory an accurate and up-to-date listing. Fax numbers, Email addresses and Websites have been included whenever available. Inevitably, errors and omissions will have occurred in the revising and updating of this Directory, and the committee would greatly appreciate receiving information about such oversights, as well as changes and new information to be included in a future revision. Please call, fax or write to the Aboriginal Friendship Committee, Fort Garry United Church, using the information on the next page.

At the time of her death, Darlene Owens was 23 years old and living at Pauingassi First Nation. On the night of October 19, 2005 Ms Owens, having consumed alcohol, went to a residence where her father was staying and caused a disturbance by banging on the door. After she refused to leave, her father, fearing she would break the window in the door, called the Band Constable on duty that night and requested that Ms Owens be detained in cells until she was sober. Band Constables attended and took Ms Owens into custody. She was taken to a trailer being used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Band Constables as a detention facility. While she was in custody, Ms Owens ripped a piece of her t-shirt which she used to hang herself from the door knob of the cell. She was discovered by Band Constables who made efforts to resuscitate her unsuccessfully.

  • Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation V. Canada (Minister of National Health and Welfare)
    Page 1 3 of 6 DOCUMENTS Indexed as: Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation v. Canada (Minister of National Health and Welfare) Between The Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation, The Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, The Opaskwayak Cree Nation, The Sapotewayek Cree Nation, The Mosakahiken Cree Nation, The Grand Rapids First Nation, and The Chemawawin Cree Nation, plaintiffs, and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of National Health and Welfare, defendant [1999] F.C.J. No. 82 Court File No. T-383-98 Federal Court of Canada - Trial Division Winnipeg, Manitoba Hargrave, Prothonotary January 21, 1999 (11 pp.) Crown -- Actions by and against Crown in right of Canada -- Practice -- Stay of proceedings -- Pleadings -- Courts -- Federal Court of Canada -- Jurisdiction -- Indians -- Provision of health services. Motion by the defendant Minister of National Health and Welfare for a stay of the action brought by Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation for deficiencies in the health care. The action arose out of the government's decision to share jurisdiction Page 2 and responsibility for Native health care with the Province of Manitoba. The Cree Nation claimed that the federal government's delegation of responsibility for Native health care violated its treaty and constitutional rights. It sought declaratory and mandatory relief in order to obtain adequate and continuous health care. The Minister argued that the Federal Court had lost jurisdiction over the matter as the government sought to bring a third party claim against the Manitoba Crown for indemnity. The government argued that the Federal Court had no jurisdiction because health care was a provincial matter, and mandamus was a remedy to be applied only to federal boards, commissions and tribunals.

  • Section M: Community Support
    Section M: Community Support Page 251 of 653 Community Support Health Canada’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services has developed the Children’s Services Reference Chart for general information on what types of health services are available in the First Nations’ communities. Colour coding was used to indicate where similar services might be accessible from the various community programs. A legend that explains each of the colours /categories can be found in the centre of chart. By using the chart’s colour coding system, resource teachers may be able to contact the communities’ agencies and begin to open new lines of communication in order to create opportunities for cost sharing for special needs services with the schools. However, it needs to be noted that not all First Nations’ communities offer the depth or variety of the services described due to many factors (i.e., budgets). Unfortunately, there are times when special needs services are required but cannot be accessed for reasons beyond the school and community. It is then that resource teachers should contact Manitoba’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services to ask for direction and assistance in resolving the issue. Manitoba’s Regional Advisor, Children’s Special Services, First Nations and Inuit Health Programs is Mary L. Brown.
