- Renew Parenting Skills Using the Teachings and Values
First Nations people have always had the knowledge that when you raise a child holistically; this prepared them to make positive choices; healthy relationships, healthy children which leads to healthy communities. We need to prepare the next generation as our teachings are a source of strength and identitiy. There is a need for more facilitators in this field as we can all make change.
It is now time to Reclaim that knowledge and provide and implement programs by using our Indigenous philosophies. Reclaiming our Indigenousness is "reversing the process of colonization". It is time to reach and claim our ancestral identity in order for our people to move forward. We need to start promoting the pride and history of our people from the perspective of the Indegenous Worldview.
The breakdown of our family systems began with colonization and residential school. When the first set of children went away, our famiy systems began to deteriorate. The workshops that Mahkesis Consulting provides are about awareness of how it was in our Traditional Family Systems and how we can bring back these teachings along with the parenting skills and most importantly, it's prevention.
