4 Year Anniversary of HOCFNA January 21, 2026, marks Peguis First Nation’s 4 year anniversary of the Honouring our Children, Families and Nation Act (HOCFNA) coming into effect. This day marks our nation’s exercise of our inherent and sacred right to protect our own children. The coming into force of our legislation acknowledges our collective efforts to put a stop to the intergenerational trauma faced by our community, and to revitalize our traditional parenting practices. Our nation’s Act requires the Agency to stand with our families, cultivating relationships with parents and letting them lead the way forward. Our Act accounts for the fact that our parents and families know what they need, and as an Agency it is our job to support their healing journey and provide the necessary supports along the way. The Honouring our Children, Families and Nation Act marks a revitalization of our traditional governance structures and law-making practices. This is imperative to our future as a nation, to nurture our parents, children and families in utilizing our law to live mino bimaadiziwin (A good life). The Agency wants to acknowledge the support of Peguis Leadership and Members in making this journey possible as each act of reconciliation impacts the wellbeing of each child and 7 generations to come.
