Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that the entire community is responsible for the development of future generations. In doing so, they work with families to better care for their children, create meaningful opportunities for family and community involvement and place a strong emphasis on positives and individual strengths. This centre was established in 1984 to provide Aboriginal solutions to support and rebuild families through the provision of culturally relevant prevention and support programs and services to the Aboriginal community. The gathering was hosted by Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
