This project will support the development and revitalization of Lnuwey Tplutaqan (Mi'kmaq Legal Orders/Laws), with a particular focus on child and family services policy. Toward this aim, the organization will undertake the following: Develop models and structures that build upon L'nu communities' strengths and infrastructure; hold education sessions to ensure that communities are informed and involved in policy reforms; collaborate with provincial partners to ensure that policy reforms are responsive to Mi'kmaw values, customs and traditions; and develop Mi'kmaw child and family services protocols while building collaborative relationships with judges, social workers and lawyers.
