This directory was first published in 1975 and has grown from 16 pages in the first edition to more than 100 pages in the current edition. The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Indigenous cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises. The editorial committee has made every effort to present accurate and up-to-date listings, with fax numbers, email addresses and websites included whenever possible.

While some may be eligible for services through the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch, others may not. Different levels of government provide different services to different people, and this complicated system can be confusing. Finding the services you need, when you need them, can be a challenge. The Winnipeg Health Region’s Aboriginal Health Programs has created this resource to help. Depending on your status (First Nation, Non-status, Inuit or Métis), different eligibility criteria may apply. To help you determine your eligibility for the services listed, you will find a colour code above each listing, as follows: First Nation Non-status Inuit Métis Many of the services listed here may be available through private health insurance plans such as Blue Cross or Great West Life. Plans vary in cost per month and may provide from 80 to 100 per cent of the fee, depending on the type of coverage. 3 About the Winnipeg health region’s Aboriginal Health Programs The Winnipeg Health Region’s Aboriginal Health Programs (AHP) are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people in Manitoba.
