In November 2002, HIPPY Canada and the Chief Dan George Centre for Advanced Education entered into a Memorandum of Understanding intended to establish a relationship that would support the implementation of HIPPY within First Nations, Inuit, and other Aboriginal communities across Canada. The memorandum enables the Chief Dan George Centre, under a program called Aboriginal HIPPY, to support the implementation of HIPPY in Aboriginal and First Nations communities in a way that honours and respects Aboriginal cultures, languages, and unique circumstances. Aboriginal Community leaders are now seeking programs that can strengthen the nation and re-educate families as a whole. HIPPY is a culturally neutral program, one that Aboriginal communities can adopt into their organizations.
