Customary Adoption and Tutorship in First Nations Communities and Nations

C0838

Customary adoption and tutorship have always been part of the self-government rights and powers of First Nations. In harmony with First Nations values, customary adoption and tutorship allow children to remain connected to their culture, languages and traditional activities and, by the same token, to preserve their sense of identity.

These information tools aim to provide better knowledge about the legal effects of First Nations customary adoption and tutorship, as well as recognition processes, the differences between the two practices and their respective advantages.
