develop a plan to act upon the Inquiry's recommendations, the Aboriginal Justice Implementation Commission was created, led by Commissioners Wendy Whitecloud and Paul Chartrand. The Aboriginal Justice Inquiry-Child Welfare Initiative was subsequently created in 2000 to help transition child protection and family support services to Manitoba's Aboriginal communities. Aftermath From 1989 to 2020, eleven Royal Commissions or Commissions of Inquiry throughout Canada have addressed the issue of Indigenous justice either directly or as one among many questions regarding Indigenous people in Canada. On 26 February 2021 (Aboriginal Justice Awareness Day), the Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Arlen Dumas, called out both the federal and provincial governments on their failure to fully implement the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry. Aboriginal Justice Implementation Commission The Aboriginal Justice Implementation Commission (AJIC) was created by the Government of Manitoba "to develop an action plan based on the original Aboriginal Justice Inquiry recommendations." The Commission was created in late November 1999, and issued its final report on 29 June 2001. It was led by Commissioners Wendy Whitecloud and Paul Chartrand, who also served as a Commissioner on the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Elder advisers of the Commission were Eva McKay and Doris Young. Aboriginal Justice Inquiry-Child Welfare Initiative The Aboriginal Justice Inquiry-Child Welfare Initiative (AJI-CWI) was created in 2000 to help transition child protection and family support services to Manitoba's Aboriginal communities, giving them the ability and responsibility to provide such services to their people throughout the province. The AJIC recommended that the AJI child welfare recommendations be prioritized for implementation. The AJI-CWI began with the signing of Memorandums of Understanding with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs on behalf of southern First Nations, the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) on behalf of northern First Nations, and with the Manitoba Metis Federation on behalf of the Métis people of Manitoba.
