About Us

Obishikokaang Sagatay Gamik is located in Lac Seul First Nation. Obishikokaang Sagatay Gamik is dedicated to supporting families that are involved with a Child Welfare Agency anywhere in Canada. Our role is to be the main contact between the First Nation and a Child Welfare agency - we are here to ensure the rights of all family members are upheld. We work in the best interest of the child and work to ensure all their needs are met in a wholistic manner.
