Based on a constructivist perspective and empirical data gathered from nine Innu mothers with at least one child in protective care, the author puts into dialogue the sociohistorical context of youth protection services, the imprint of bio-psycho-spirit-social colonialism in Quebec, and the trajectories of Innu mothers. More specifically, attention is paid to the singular experiences of these mothers in contact with YP services, their relationships with social workers and the institution, as well as three promising avenues for increasing cultural safety in services. The epistemological anchoring retained values the experiences, learning and knowledge of the participant-experts. Placed at the forefront of the article, these excerpts aim above all to honor the stories of the participants and to respect their worldviews, experiences, and values.
