Wisdom of the Elders – Guidance from the Community: A Tailored Approach to Indigenize Harm Reduction.
The Aboriginal Coalition to End Homelessness hosted a 2-day gathering on June 8th & 9th 2018. The purpose of the gathering was to collaboratively develop a harm reduction framework contextualized by Indigenous knowledge. The Gathering was immersed in teachings, songs, and dance. We invited a select body of guests to the gathering: Local First Nations and Metis leaders, traditional healers, Elders, members of the Aboriginal Street Community (ASC), local and national Indigenous led organizations, non-Indigenous community partners and research groups.
The video created by Hot House Media highlights lessons learned from the gathering and potential next steps.
