Kanawayhitowin is a Cree word, which in English translates to "taking care of each others spirit". When we are born our spirits are pure and whole. As we journey through our time on earth, our spirit may encounter abuse and neglect. Everyone has the right to have their spirit protected and the responsibility to take care of the sacredness of life.

Kanawayhitowin is an Aboriginal campaign to raise awareness about the signs of woman abuse in our communities, so that people who are close to an at-risk woman or abusive man can provide support. This campaign has been adapted from the Neighbours, Friends and Family initiative in the province of Ontario to reflect a traditional and cultural approach to community healing and wellness.
