In 1993, First Nations demanded change to the conditions of Yukon's hospitals. Today, Yukon hospitals offer a successful example of what happens when Western health care incorporates #Indigenous healing. This #MentalHealthWeek , learn more about this: bit.ly/3QEsOyd

Healing comes in many forms. Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people deserve equal access to culturally appropriate mental health supports that incorporate traditional healing practices alongside Western approaches to mental wellness. #MentalHealthWeek

#DYK Indigenous people used bows and arrow to catch animals for food and furs for hundreds of years? Most bows were made from wood, braided sinew, sealskin, copper rivets & bone. Hunters stored bows in cases made from sealskin or caribou hide.

The #MooseHideCampaign reached an impressive milestone recently: the five millionth moose hide pin was presented to Barb Ward-Burkitt, Executive Director of the Prince George Native Friendship Centre, for her dedication to ending the #MMIWG2S + crisis. bit.ly/4aceGTR

Finally things are moving ahead at 'ground zero.' I am glad to see Manitoba and the federal government working together which will result in a nationwide approach. We MUST all #implement #MMIWG2S Calls for Justice

According to our project, Safe Passage, there are 1.4K reported #MMIWG cases in Canada, many of which remain unresolved. And there are likely many more that go unreported. Tomorrow is #RedDressDay , a day to honour MMIWG. Let’s commemorate our stolen loved ones & demand change.
