Opikihiwawin’s programs create a positive sense of identity and belonging and help adoptees and foster people build relationships in the Aboriginal community.
Based on Dr. Martin Brokenleg’s theory of reclaiming youth at risk, Opikihiwawin helps Aboriginal adoptees find where they belong and helps them on their journey home. ”We have a wide range of programs for fostered and adopted youth,” says Darlene Daniels. “The goal is to find their sense of self-identity, where they belong, and what their gifts and talents are.” Opikihiwawin has partnered with the University of Manitoba and arranged for Indigenous people in various programs like medicine or dentistry to mentor and tutor young people so that they flourish in school and are not intimidated by math and science.
The paintings, Super Hero, Parenting, Education, and Language, were created by Opikihiwawin participants; they were inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action.

Their services include prevention and life promotions programs delivered to children, youth and parents, as well as, case management and coordination of the assessment and consultation processes. She discusses some of the “costs” these initiatives involve (like sacrificing the learning of Indigenous languages to prioritize increasing graduation rates) and talks about the challenges of trying to build a system in which Indigenous communities can have both.
