Ontario Federation of Indian Friendship Centres - Kizhaay Anishnaabe Niin "I am a Kind Man"
After an initial partnership with the White Ribbon campaign in the spring of 2005, the OFIFC has led the way for the first culturally relevant OFIFC Aboriginal initiative to encourage and challenge men and boys to actively speak out against all forms of violence against women and to foster healthy relationships. Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin, which in English translates to “I am a Kind Man”, is now a stand-alone project.
There are currently eighty Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin facilitators located across the province and the OFIFC plans to continue to advocate for full time Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin workers to be located in all Friendship Centres.
Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin (an Ojibway phrase) translates to “I Am a Kind Man”. At a time when violence is invading whole communities "I Am a Kind Man" reminds us that violence has never been an acceptable part of Aboriginal culture. This website embraces the Seven Grandfather Teachings, which show us how to live in harmony with Creation through wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility and truth.
We are Aboriginal men from across Ontario who are very concerned about the problem of men’s violence and abuse against women in Aboriginal communities. The overall purpose of the Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin initiative is to engage the men of our communities to speak out against all forms of abuse towards Aboriginal women.
1. To provide education for men to address issues of abuse against women;
2. To re-establish traditional responsibilities by acknowledging that our teachings have never tolerated violence and abuse towards women;
3. To inspire men to engage other men to get involved and stop the abuse;
4. To support Aboriginal men who choose not to use violence.
