We walk with our community on their journeys

Ka Ni Kanichihk Inc. is a trusted heart of Winnipeg’s Indigenous community. Our vision is to lead our people back home to a place where we are self-determining, healthy, happy, and respected for our cultural and spiritual strengths and ways of being.

What We Do

A number of Indigenous led prevention and intervention programs that help children, youth, women, men, and families heal, succeed, and become leaders. Ka Ni Kanichihk provides education and job-skills training, support for women and families, and mentorship. We walk with people on their path of recovery from trauma.

Programs and Services

Health and Wellness

Our health and wellness programs blend traditional Indigenous knowledge with trauma-informed practices, offering holistic support for mental, physical, and spiritual healing. We provide a safe, supportive space for individuals to reconnect, restore, and grow, guiding our community toward well-being and resilience.

Children, Youth, and Family

At Ka Ni Kanichihk, we support children, youth, and families through culturally-based childcare, life skills training, and education-focused initiatives. Our programs foster pride, belonging, and responsibility, helping families reconnect to their roots and create safe, nurturing homes. Together, we help youth and families thrive and build stronger communities.

Education

Our education programs go beyond academics, empowering individuals through life skills, self-worth, and financial independence. Rooted in Indigenous traditions, we create spaces where personal growth and cultural knowledge unite. Whether advancing your career or personal journey, our programs provide the tools and support needed to succeed while honoring each person’s unique strengths.

Healing and Recovery

At Ka Ni Kanichihk, we honor each healing journey with culturally grounded programs rooted in Indigenous teachings. Our holistic approach supports recovery from trauma, addiction, and adversity. We offer a nurturing space where individuals can reclaim their identity, reconnect with community, and find balance and peace, walking the path of healing together.
