Bill C-92, officially known as An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families, is a federal law that came into effect on January 1, 2020. This important legislation recognizes the inherent rights of Indigenous communities to govern their own child and family services.
For generations, Indigenous children have been overrepresented in the child welfare system. Bill C-92 is a step toward ending that cycle by giving First Nations, such as Tallcree, the ability to create and implement their own child and family laws, rooted in their language, culture, and traditions.
