Integration of programs and services for Aboriginal people (status and non-status Indian, Metis and Inuit peoples) is often regarded as a way for the government to reduce it's funding and in many cases abdicate its fiduciary obligations. While there is a great need for the effective delivery of early childhood services in Aboriginal communities, safeguarding against processes that promote the assimilation of Aboriginal peoples is even more critical.

We must look to our past for the lessons our grandmothers and grandfathers have taught, and to the future for our children. Customs and traditions that manifest the unique beliefs and values of Aboriginal peoples are passed on from generation to generation-through child-rearing practices. Children are the heart of the family and community. Child-rearing is a sacred and valued responsibility.
