Saskatoon Inn, 2002 Airport Drive Saskatoon, SK
The University of Saskatchewan’s Health Science Colleges and Schools are committed to exploring, supporting, and creating paths to reconciliation with the Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) of Saskatchewan. To support this reconciliation, long-term, authentic, sustainable relationships are necessary. We believe that by learning from and with each other, best and wise practices can be developed to address the current health challenges experienced by Indigenous peoples. This Gathering is a conference-style event that is intentionally planned to showcase and uplift Indigenous worldviews. This Gathering will showcase approaches to developing reciprocal, respectful partnerships.
The planning committee is engaging with Indigenous community members, inviting them to identify health priorities and strengths-based approaches to wellness to set the foundation for this event. A diverse audience that includes Elders, kēhtē ayak (Knowledge Keepers), students, community members, health care providers and health service organizations are being invited to the Gathering.
