Notes:
- "The Michif word Kaa-wiichihitoyaahk (ka-wee-chi-hi-to-yahk) means "we take care of each other." This word was chosen as the title for the guide because caring for our family and community is an important value of Métis people. We express kaa-wiichihitoyaahk and cultural wellness towards one another by practising our culture and treating one another with respect and kindness."
