Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin (an Ojibway phrase) translates to “I Am a Kind Man”. At a time when violence is invading whole communities "I Am a Kind Man" reminds us that violence has never been an acceptable part of Aboriginal culture. This website embraces the Seven Grandfather Teachings which show us how to live in harmony with Creation through wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility and truth.
We are Aboriginal men from across Ontario who are very concerned
about the problem of men’s violence and abuse against women in Aboriginal
communities. The overall purpose of the Kizhaay
Anishinaabe Niin Initiative is to engage the men of our communities to
speak out against all forms of abuse towards Aboriginal women. 1. To provide education for men
to address issues of abuse against women; 2. To re-establish traditional
responsibilities by acknowledging that our teachings have never tolerated
violence and abuse towards women; 3. To inspire men to engage
other men to get involved and stop the abuse; 4. To support Aboriginal men
who choose not to use violence.
