Maad'ookiing Mshkiki—Sharing Medicine

Unpacking biomedicine, traditional knowledges and healing practices through oral storytelling and visualizations to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in making informed choices. This project aims to build on other community-led and allied initiatives that share the goal of advancing access to quality and safe healthcare services for Indigenous communities and meeting the needs of those who are systemically marginalized. Specifically, it aims to provide timely, accurate, trauma-informed, and culturally relevant information about medical concepts related to available COVID-19 vaccinations with the explicit aim of empowering informed consent and decision making of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples living in urban and related homelands.
