Tasiutigiit Association

Tasiutigiit is a non-profit organization that offers support and community for families of adopted and fostered Indigenous Children. Given the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system, there is a need for cultural support for inter-cultural families raising them. Tasiutigiit does not condone the removal of Indigenous children from their communities, but seeks to offer services to children and families where this has already occurred. The association seeks to educate foster and adoptive parents about historical and ongoing colonial violence and intergenerational trauma, while providing their children access to positive role models from their communities of origin who can help support them to access their culture and strengthen their Indigenous identity.
