Red Lake Nation is taking a unique approach to the delivery of child and family services. Ombimindwaa Gidanawemaaganinaadog, formerly known as Red Lake Family and Children’s Services, used their Ojibwe language to rename the division, which translates to “Uplifting All of Our Relatives.” 

This uplifting of the community was felt last month when the department hosted an event called July Extravaganza.
