For over ten years, Tontakaiê:rine (It has become right again) has been a community-driven
program funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services offering two main programs for
qualifying youth aged 12-17.
Programs include Restorative Initiatives, which offers culturally appropriate programming for
youth who come in to conflict with the law. As well as Extra-Judicial Measures, is a pre-charge
program that focuses on ways that youth can be diverted out of the youth criminal justice
system. Education and consultations to the wider community in the areas of Indigenous
restorative processes are also offered.
The Adult Restorative Initiatives program works with the Indigenous adult population to provide
22 culturally relevant services to those who have come into conflict with the law. The focus is on
healing, reparation, positive reintegration and crime prevention awareness.

More recently FNTI and Tontakaiê:rine have partnered with the Ministry of the Attorney
General to offer new programming. These programs expand upon FNTI’s commitment to assist
Indigenous Peoples in conflict with the law.
