Indigenous Youth and Families
Overview
The cases below seek compensation against Canada and various provinces for (1) operating child services in a manner that discriminates against Indigenous children; and (2) failing to provide Indigenous children with essential services.
These actions include claims on behalf of (1) all Indigenous children who were removed by child services, since 1991; (2) all Indigenous children who were denied essential services, since 1992 (1975 in Nunavik); and (3) family members caring for those children at the time that they were removed or denied an essential service.
