ANISHINABEK NATION TERRITORY – The Anishinabek Nation’s Health Transformation Team has expanded their knowledge-base after attending the Gathering Wisdom for a Shared Journey forum hosted by the B.C. First Nations Health Authority in February. The Team witnessed the governance structure in action as nearly 200 Chiefs voted on the resolution to ratify a historic document: a 10-year Strategy on the Social Determinants of Health.
“We have gained valuable information from this experience, made some new connections, and built stronger working relationships with the FNHA Leadership and ISC (Indigenous Services Canada) staff,” says Loretta Nootchtai, Anishinabek Nation Health Transformation Project Manager.
The Health Transformation Team is currently meeting with interested Chiefs and Councils to introduce Health Transformation.
“The team has accepted, and will continue to accept, invites from all interested First Nations and health organizations who provide programs and/or services to the 39 First Nations within Anishinabek Nation,” says Nootchtai.
