Jordan’s Principle
Jordan River Anderson (October 22, 1999 - February 2, 2005) was a First Nations child from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba. He was born with complex medical needs. Because the province of Manitoba and the federal government could not agree on who would pay for his at-home care, he had to unnecessarily stay longer in the hospital. Jordan passed at age 5, never having had the chance to return to his family home, First Nation, and loved ones.
"Jordan's death ignited a movement to uphold human rights for all First Nations children through the creation of the child first principle called Jordan's Principle."
The First Nations Child and Family Caring Society (Caring Society) has advocated alongside the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) for more than ten years to ensure that First Nations children do not face barriers to getting the needed services. Other groups joined in and took Canada to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (Tribunal) to improve child and family services for First Nations children. In 2016, the Tribunal ordered Canada to fully implement Jordan's Principle, resulting in a federal government announcement that it would comply with the Tribunal ruling so that First Nations children receive necessary care first. Then, the various levels of government or departments involved will figure out who pays for it.
