We all work together to help one another

Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata

Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata (pronounced Maa- Ma- Wii- Jii- Ta- Daa) means “we all work together to help one another” in Anishinaabemowin.

Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre was born in the fall of 1984 by committed community members who sought an Indigenous solution to supporting and rebuilding families. Our organization is made up of community people helping other community people reclaim our inherent roles and responsibilities as Indigenous caregivers and the most important teachers of our children.

Every day, we work toward our vision of a safe, healthy, happy, and interdependent community through our Indigenous-led programs and services created to strengthen our families and invest in the future of our communities.
