Ontario Coalition of Indigenous Peoples (OCIP)

Representing the Rights of Metis, Non-Status, Status and Inuit Living off Reserve in Ontario

Social Media

The Ontario Coalition of Indigenous People (OCIP) is an incorporated, not–for- profit, membership based coalition formed to advocate for the rights and interests of Métis, Non-Status, Inuit and Off-Reserve status people living in urban, rural and remote areas throughout Ontario.

OCIP is designed to be a flexible, “bottom-up” community-based coalition that supports projects and priorities identified by local community members. The OCIP approach embodies innovation in government, given that community members participate in the decision making process alongside government members. The goal of OCIP is to implement programs and services that address the ever-increasing needs of its members. OCIP has implemented a governance structure that is geographically equal across the province of Ontario. The current Board of Governors consists of a President/Chief, Vice-Chief, Elder, Special Advisors, Youth Representative, and 9 Community Representatives or Governors.

OCIP was structured to help communities build on their successes and focus on broadening and strengthening partnerships across the province, as well as increasing the participation of members in each area. Community-based local solutions reflect local realities and needs and can form the basis of an appropriate and effective response. Building capacity within community based organizations at the local level, and developing partnerships within each community is among the objectives of OCIP.

OCIP officially became the recognized Ontario affiliate of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples in November, 2007, when delegates of the Congress’ Annual General Assembly unanimously ratified OCIP’s application for recognition as the Ontario affiliate of the Congress.

Collaboration continues to be the driving force behind OCIP, with 23 affiliate community organizations or 9 Regions throughout Ontario. With partnerships being solidified and a strategic plan being developed that will provide long-term solutions to address the needs of Indigenous Peoples across Ontario

From Elder Jim Smith,"As we continue in our viewing our Indigenous Commandments, we continue our study with our fourth Commandment:4. Be Truthful, Protective and Honest at all Times. As fully aware human beings, we should strive to be truthful and honest in everything we do or say. All of humanity should and must always belong to the Integrity Order of Humanity in this life. We must be able to trust one another, whether in our dealings or just with each other. If we cannot trust and believe our brothers and sisters, both in the Indigenous and Mainstream worlds, who can we trust? When we purchase an item(s) from any store or other venue we like, we must be able to trust the honesty and integrity in both the venues’ owners and the sales personal that deal with. No one is perfect and we all know this, but to deliberately lie about the product or plans to defraud someone of their hard earned funds, brings down the integrity of the of that person or persons who sold the item(s). Some will try to make excuses for their actions and may even indicate and lie that they were unaware of whatever was defect of the product was. But, our Great Creator sees all things and hears all things, even when we try to cover over those lies. Only a person who has true integrity has security with our Creator and a quiet life. They have confidence knowing that our Creator will reward them for their honesty and integrity in their journey of life.As guardians of mother earth, we take from her earth what is needed and nothing else. As guardians, we do not steal, rob or destroy our integrity under any false pretences. We obey our passion with His respect, by acting respectfully and letting our words be true. While guiding our actions to be honorable and to help us live and reflect your shining light, for all too see. You walk with us daily, on every step we take. While we learned Your teachings of how to live in total harmony, integrity, truthfulness and with true humility, in all our words, actions and reactions on this journey, across mother earth. You taught our ancestors the teachings of protecting mother earth and the gardens she produced, along the grassy meadows and the waterways of life. But mankind forgot those teachings, over the centuries and how to protect those fertile lands. Today we must re-educate our youth and young adults on her healthy garden teachings and those fertile protective ways, so mother earth will once again be that fertile productive fullness of gardens that our ancestors passed down over the centuries. Colonialize handed down many ways of existence on mother earth. Many of our Indigenous ways have been shelved over the centuries. Many of these new ways have advanced our culture into new improved lifestyles, while others have closed out the teachings of our ancestors for our futures generations. Our Creator will aid us in the future direction, as Creator sees fitting for our Indigenous future in going forward.Meegwetch." … See MoreSee Less
