The Ojibwa culture is rooted in a wholistic way of life that embraces a relationship with all living things. Individuals living or learning about the "The Red Road Life" experience & display joy, celebration & the ability to give thanks.

"Every little thing is sent for something, and in that there should be happiness and the power to make happy,
like the grasses showing tender faces to each other; This we should." 
~Black Elk

HIFN Daycare provides social support & educational services to our First Nation children, youth and their families. The indigenous pedagogical plan is primarily based on the Ojibwa culture & language while respecting & supporting all participating children's language & cultures. HIFN Daycare believes that: It is our desire that we and you should be as one heart, one mind, and one body, thus becoming one people, entertaining a mutual love and regard for each other, to be preserved firm and entire, not only between you and us, but between your children and our children, to all succeeding generations.

Parental involvement is encouraged. Parents can assist with field trips, attend their child's birthday luncheon, social events, and share information with the Centre about their child's individual needs. Newsletters and information sharing occurs regularly. We invite your input. Questionnaires are distributed annually. Your feedback is valued and appreciated.

Important Notice About RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) Payments

Important Notice About RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) Payments

We understand that many Members have questions or concerns about why they will, or will not, receive an RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) payment. This notice is intended to clearly explain who is eligible for a payment, why only some Members receive one, and why others do not.

Why the HIFN PCD Trust Was Created
The HIFN PCD Trust – RHT Annuities Settlement was created by HIFN Council to distribute a maximum of 1,327 one-time PCD payments to eligible HIFN Members (1,206 Original Enrolled Members plus 121 additional PCDs approved by Council to include Members whose registrations were completed shortly after the Trust was settled).

Because the Trust was funded to pay the 1,206 registered Original Enrolled Members as of September 9, 2023, along with 121 additional PCDs for Members who became registered after September 9, 2023, not every post-September 9, 2023 registered Member can receive a payment.
