This is the best summary I could come up with:
I know a lot of people across this country from one end to the other are very pleased with the decision," said David Pratt, second vice-chief of FSIN.
The FSIN held a news conference Friday to celebrate the decision, but also send a clear message to provincial governments.
"Our message today to the provinces and territories is to step aside and let First Nations take over, and let us do the work that needs to be done with our children and with our families," said Pratt.
In 2021, Cowessess First Nation inked the first deal with the federal and provincial governments to take control of decision-making over its children and youth.
Cowessess Chief Erica Beaudin also celebrated the monumental decision coming down from the Supreme Court Friday.
Beaudin said the First Nation has been working on implementing its own child welfare system, but that it's complex and requires lots of care and money.
