SE First Nations, Inuit and Métis Program
Discover how we’re working together for Indigenous health
Who We Are
We are Indigenous and allies, and we love what we do. We’re working respectfully alongside communities to co-develop/co-design initiatives, health service solutions, education, resources, and tools.
We ensure that health service solutions meet the needs of the community by interweaving cultural safety, Indigenous ways of knowing and evidence-based practice into our processes. Our Indigenous staff have lived and worked in community and have an excellent understanding of communities’ needs and health systems.
Our core values are grounded upon respect, relevance, reciprocity, responsibility, and relationship.

Rooted in the wisdom of the Seven Grandfather Teachings and filmed beside the sacred fire at Pine Family Lodge, these videos offer culturally grounded guidance and support for caregivers, reflecting the love and wisdom of Elders and Knowledge Keepers. View Website
Real Stories. Real Impact.

We hope that you will not only read these stories but also feel them too.
