Native Americans receive free housing, healthcare, education, and food; government checks each month, and income without the burden of taxes.

The Miyo Pimatisowin Act, which was ratified by Cowessess residents in March 2020, asserts the community’s right to care for children and families in need. The Act is a stepping-stone in the community’s effort to create its own plan for self-governance. The Act is the first of its kind in Canada.
After years of planning and discussion, the newly installed act reverts the responsibility from the province back to the rights holder, Cowessess First Nation. The approach focuses on prevention, ensuring families have the resources to decolonize their homes and manage the impact inter-generational trauma.
“The coordination agreement is a transition plan to assure the transfer of jurisdiction is professional and at the face of Cowessess First Nation,” Cowessess First Nation Chief Cadmus Delorme said in an email to the community. “The fiscal agreement confirms the investiment the Government of Canada and Government of Saskatchewan takes in supporting the Cowessess First Nation.”
The plan is to reset the way child welfare is approached from the core, identifying and assessing each case from psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual perspectives to make sure those areas are fulfilled for their children. Delorme said with this act every child in care from Cowessess stays connected to the reserve.
The program is currently run from an existing office, but plans are in the works for a new home at the Chief Red Bear Children's Lodge.
As growth happens over the years more buildings and staff will be available and urban areas, such as Regina, will see full services as well.
In the email, Delorme said COVID-19 guidelines will be followed, and no more than 150 people will be permitted to attend the event at the powwow grounds.
