Culturally Competent Programs: The First Family Violence Program for Aboriginal Men in Prison

Evelyn Zellerer

San Diego State University

Given the severity and extent of woman abuse, calls are being made to mandate treatment for abusive men. Attention has focused on Caucasian populations; few programs are culturally competent. This article discusses the first Aboriginal family violence program for inmates within the federal correctional system in North America. The Correctional Service of Canada funded a project operated by a community agency, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre, for offenders at Stony Mountain Institution in Manitoba. Numerous issues, including cultural competence, training, and evaluation, are highlighted.

Key Words: aboriginal • native • batterer intervention • domestic violence • culture
