Sixties Scoop Agreement
  • This is the Canadian government's background publication on the Sixties Scoop, which was a time during the 60s–80s where Indigenous children were taken from their homes and placed in foster care or were sent to be adopted by non-Indigenous families.
  • There was a class action filed in 2009, but in 2017 Minister Carolyn Bennett announced that the government would begin negotiations to resolve the Sixties Scoop litigation to begin moving away from litigations to negotiations.
  • This release discusses the Agreement-in-Principles (AIP), which represents the collaborations with Canadian political parties to resolve claims fairly, compassionately, and respectfully.
  • This release also explores the various elements of the AIPs.
