Welcome to the Haida Child & Family Services Society We are embarking on a journey that will lead us to self governing our own Child Welfare System. We are calling this journey A New Direction 'K'yuu Gawtlaas'. We have given the 'New Direction' a nickname within our offices. We have coined it the 'New Old Direction' because we are instilling Haida values into our practice. Haida values and cultural appropriateness is something that has lacked in the past. We will be building a new traditional model of child welfare that exemplifies the traditional Haida way of life. This New Direction will enrich the lives of Children and Families in our Haida Gwaii communities.

Northwest Community College (NWCC), founded in 1975, is a provincially funded post-secondary institution in northwest British Columbia, situated within a rural and remote context. This region is home to more than 72,000 people, of whom 30 - 32 per cent are First Nations or Métis. According to British Columbia government statistics 2006 census data, this is by far the largest number of Indigenous people as a percentage of total population of all college regions in British Columbia. More than 35 different communities, ranging in size from a few hundred to 20,000, are located in the Northwest. To enhance access to post-secondary opportunities, NWCC has established nine campuses in the following communities: Houston, Smithers, Hazelton, Kitimat, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Village of Queen Charlotte, Kaay Llnagaay and Masset. Through partnerships and federated agreements with First Nations communities and organizations, the College also provides community-based programming in many First Nations villages and consistently in the Nass Valley with Wilp Wilxo'oskwhl Nisga'a. The northwest region is home to seven (7) First Nations. The Haida reside to the west on Haida Gwaii, the Wet'suwet'en and Gitxsan to the east, the Tahltan and Nisga'a to the north, and the combined First Nations of the Haisla and Henaaksiala to the south. Much of the land stretching from the coast to the central interior of this region (following the banks of the Skeena River) is the traditional home of the Tsimshian people. Many Métis people have moved into the northwest region in past decades and are part of the recently organized BC Métis Nation. For more than five years, the College has embarked on a journey of transformational change to enhance access and success of First Nation and Métis learners. Initiated with the raising of an all Nations totem pole in the winter of 2004, NWCC seeks to become a bicultural institution in which both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal worldviews may respectfully co-exist. This is a significant change for NWCC and one the entire College-not just a department or service area within it-has been challenged to embrace. NWCC is unique among colleges in Canada as it seeks to redress colonization and the barriers First Nations and Métis students face in traditional educational systems.
