A Message from Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak
(MKO)
Grand Chief Francis Flett
 This
is a momentous occasion for the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO)
First Nations. The Memorandum of Understanding on Child and Family
Services will not only make history but this agreed upon process will
honor the lives of our children and their children.
We are pleased that the Province of Manitoba supports our position
respecting our inherent right to care for our children wherever they
reside. Also, we are pleased that the Province of Manitoba has agreed
to participate in discussions to address the MKO First Nations' aspiration
for full jurisdiction in child and family services which is reflected
in the MOU
We have waited a long time for this re-visioning and re-structuring
of the child and family services system in Manitoba We are poised
to take full responsibility for our membership in the city of Winnipeg
and other urban areas.
