Aski Awasis / Children of the Earth

“Aski Awasis: Children of the Earth” is a well-researched book that describes the importance of belonging, and connections with community and culture, for First Nation children experiencing adoption. The mission statement for the Yellowhead Tribal Services Agency (YTSA) states that “Children are Gifts from the Creator”: their Open Custom Adoptions model is a testament to this vision.
“This book shines a ray of hope for others to think about when they develop policy and practice models for customary adoption. Each chapter echoes profound experiences of those who have dedicated their lives to enriching the lives of children, families and communities in traditional territory.”
