Urban ANABIP - Prevention
ANABIP – Anuk Nu’At’en Ba’glgh’ iyi z’ilhdic
(We are talking about our ways)
ANABIP Vision
By applying cultural customs and Inuk Nu’at’en (Wet’suwet’en laws), we can strengthen our Nation to protect and nurture our children.
ANABIP Mission Statement
We believe children are our most precious resource and the future of our communities. We believe they will achieve the best quality of life when families and communities are learning, practicing, and enjoying their traditional culture and language.
The Urban ANABIP Program reflects the core principles of ANABIP by providing culturally relevant services to Wet’suwet’en families living in the interior and southern regions of British Columbia. The program is grounded in Wet’suwet’en governance, customs, values, and laws, ensuring that urban families remain connected to their cultural identity and community teachings.
ANABIP is not a delegated agency. Child protection authority and statutory decision-making remain the responsibility of the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). The Urban ANABIP Program works in a supportive, preventative, and advocacy role and is actively involved in ongoing efforts to reclaim Wet’suwet’en child welfare jurisdiction.
Our program relies heavily on our traditional decision-making processes based on Wet’suwet’en governance, customs, values, and laws to care for our children and families. ANABIP provides services on a volunteer basis to support families in a culturally relevant way within the communities of Burns Lake, Prince George, Vancouver, and other regions across British Columbia.
The Urban ANABIP Program works closely with Wet’suwet’en cultural experts to maintain a strong cultural foundation and provides community-wide cultural education opportunities, ensuring that families in urban areas benefit from ANABIP’s commitment to cultural safety, belonging, and enrichment.
