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.

  • DARLENE ROSE OWENS, Deceased
    Release Date: May 11, 2009 IN THE PROVINCIAL COURT OF MANITOBA IN THE MATTER OF: THE FATALITY INQUIRIES ACT AND IN THE MATTER OF: DARLENE ROSE OWENS, Deceased APPEARANCES: Counsel to the Inquest: Ms Deann Sahulka For the Federal Government: Mr. Kevin Staska The Fatality Inquiries Act Report by Provincial Judge on Inquest Respecting the death of: DARLENE ROSE OWENS An Inquest respecting the said death having been held by me on September 3rd and 8th, 2008 at Pauingassi First Nation, Manitoba, and on September 9th and November 7th, 2008 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I hereby report as follows: The name of the deceased is Darlene Rose Owens. 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.

  • Guide Des Collectivités Des Premières Nations
    Guide des Collectivités des Premières nations Région du Manitoba 2012-2013 Premières nations du Manitoba En mars 2012, le Manitoba comptait 140,975 membres inscrits des Premières nations, dont 84,874 membres (60,2 p. cent) habitent dans les réserves. Ce pourcentage place le Manitoba au deuxième rang derrière l’Ontario au chapitre du nombre total de personnes vivant dans les réserves et de la population autochtone totale à l’échelle provinciale. Le rapport intitulé Population indienne inscrite selon le sexe et la résidence 2012 confirme que 84,303 (59,8 p. cent) des membres des Premières nations au Manitoba sont âgés de moins de 30 ans. Au Manitoba il y a 63 Premières nations, parmi lesquelles on retrouve 6 des 20 plus importantes bandes indiennes au Canada. On note aussi que 23 Premières nations ne disposent pas de route d’accès praticable en tout temps. Ce dilemme touche plus de la moitié de tous les membres des Premières nations qui vivent dans les réserves. Il existe cinq groupes linguistiques au sein des Premières nations du Manitoba: cri, ojibway, dakota, oji-cri et déné. À l’exception de cinq Premières nations du Manitoba - sioux Birdtail, Sioux Valley, Canupawakpa, Dakota Tipi et Dakota Plains - qui ne sont signataires d’aucun traité avec le Canada, celui-ci a signé sept traités, soit les traités nos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, avec toutes les autres Premières nations de la province. Les Premières nations du Manitoba sont représentées par trois organismes politiques provinciaux répartis selon un axe nord-sud.

(KIM) are collaborating with Mental Wellness Services in Manitoba to support Northern First Nations’ leadership and Health Directors during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Feelings of distress, anxiety, fear, and grief can heighten as Manitoba communities practice social and physical distancing during this unprecedented health crisis. In response to the need for people to access mental wellness support and service during COVID-19, mental wellness teams and programs have adapted their methods of communication and will respond through virtual means to continue serving those coping with suicide attempts, completed suicides, homicide, multiple deaths, trauma due to violent assault, or other serious events that impact many people. Each Wellness Team is committed to: • Providing confidential mental wellness support with a culturally safe and trauma-informed care approach to all Manitoba First Nations on and off reserve. • Ensuring all services and on-call crisis responses are accessible via telephone or text with various services, including virtual support with FaceTime and/or Zoom video conferencing, where applicable. • Ensuring their mental wellness team members and health care providers are trained to help manage an individual's mental health during COVID-19. • Sharing the most current and accurate information-based facts from provincial and federal public health authorities. • Staying informed of safety measures during COVID-19, as guided by the Province of Manitoba Chief Public Health Officer and public health authorities.
