The need for culturally safe care, centered on Indigenous practices and ways of knowing, is more evident today than ever before. Leadership by Indigenous-based health and healing is needed to help break the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> status quo in which Indigenous people and communities continue to experience significant healthcare disparities and preventable early death and morbidity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colonization has had many devastating repercussions for the Indigenous people of North America, as they were stripped of their land, family and culture, and deprived of their traditional knowledge and practices related to health and well-being. Knowledge that was shared through generations related to plant medicines, ceremonies, and teachings that maintained and supported positive health, is on the verge of disappearing. This knowledge came under attack during assimilation policies like the Residential School System and was forced underground by government policies banning ceremony and making the practices illegal. Today, it is estimated that 85% of Indigenous people in Ontario live in urban centres. Without a forum for land-based teachings, the reclamation and preservation of traditional knowledge about medicines and ceremony proves to be challenging for Indigenous people living in an urban setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAttending ceremonies provides a sense of identity, builds confidence, provides positive support. I am learning to become whole\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">through my identity and culture.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Anishnawbe Health Toronto Client<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT), the accredited community health centre serving the Indigenous community in Toronto, has developed a unique model that provides healthcare and healing guided by the teachings of Traditional Healers, Elders, and Medicine People.\u00a0 Western health-care practitioners work side by side with Traditional Healers to build a healthy, strong Indigenous community by looking at health holistically and helping clients to overcome barriers to health and living a good life; barriers such as homelessness, poverty, trauma, abuse and addiction. In addition to traditional practitioners, clients can access traditional medicines and participate in ceremonies such as Sweat Lodge, Smudge, and Naming Ceremonies. Connecting to identity and culture are at the core to finding a healthy path for all clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of the only Indigenous health centres in Canada with Traditional Healers on staff full time, Anishnawbe Health sees every day how colonization has severely diminished Indigenous teachings, practices and ceremonies in Canada, and we know that support to ensure this valuable knowledge is shared with the next generation is critical. To date, AHT&#8217;s efforts to address this gap for its own needs have been done on an ad hoc basis, without any dedicated resources. Yet, AHT has recognized a need to provide structured training in a supportive environment for future Traditional Healers in the urban context, to support the reclamation and preservation of traditional knowledge and to pass the teachings from generation to generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AHT is not alone in identifying this gap. A consultation with Elders, Healers, Traditional Teachers and Ceremonialists across Ontario concluded there was overwhelming support for a foundational training program for Osh-ka-be-Wis, or Traditional Helpers.\u00a0 With seed funding from donors to Anishnawbe Health Foundation, AHT is embarking on developing this training program with the aim of accelerating the learning for this vital resource for the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My community\u2019s view of health starts with individual action \u2013 we all have the responsibility for our own health and wellness. At the same time, to find <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mino-pimatisiwin, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a good path, we need the support of family, community and a connection to land, culture and identity.
