N\u00e9ya\u00a0Napew Na Muton\u00a0(a Cree phrase) translates to \u201cI Am a Kind Man\u201d. At a time when violence is invading whole communities \u201cI Am a Kind Man\u201d\u00a0reminds us that violence has never been an acceptable\u00a0part\u00a0of Indigenous culture.\u00a0This program embraces the seven sacred teachings\u00a0which show us how to live in harmony with creation through\u00a0wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility and truth.<\/p>\n
Indigenous men from across Alberta \u00a0are very concerned about the problem of men\u2019s violence and abuse against Indigenous women.\u00a0The overall purpose of the\u00a0N\u00e9ya Napew Na Muton program\u00a0\u00a0is to engage the men of our communities to speak out against all forms of abuse towards Indigenous women.<\/p>\n
1. To provide education for men to address issues of abuse against women;<\/p>\n
2. To re-establish traditional responsibilities by acknowledging that our teachings have never tolerated violence and abuse towards women;<\/p>\n
3. To inspire men to engage other men to get involved and stop the abuse;<\/p>\n
4. To support Aboriginal men who choose not to use violence.<\/p>\n
The Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association would like to give thanks and acknowledge the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres for creating and sharing this program across Alberta.<\/p>\n<\/div>
