Atlantic First Nations Health Conference Report, November 2012 6 Conference Summary The theme of the Atlantic First Nations Health Conference this year was “Gathering Our Voices, Building Capacity, Building Bridges” The intent of the conference and the panel discussion was to start a discussion on advocacy for First Nations health issues: who are the advocates, how do we advocate and who are our allies? Cindy Blackstock, Executive Director for the First Nations Family and Children Caring Society opened the conference discussing the situation of First Nations children in the child welfare system and the Human Rights Tribunal Hearing currently taking place in Ottawa. Workshops focused on partnerships and collaboration. For example, the Maliseet Mental Wellness Team presented as well as the Nunatsiavut Mental Wellness Team. There were also workshops on Food Security, Self-Care for the Health Care Worker, the Social Determinants of Health and the Bath Salts Issue in Pictou Landing. We had a plenary panel discussion on advocacy and who are First Nations allies. The panel presenters included Bonnie Polchies from Woodstock First Nation, Megan Leslie, Member of Parliament, Philippa Pictou, Health Director at Pictou Landing First Nation and Paul O’Hara, a social worker at the North End Community Health Centre in Halifax. Honouring Our People Awards were given out to Elder Imelda Perley, Margaret Levy from Metepenagiag, Tom Sylliboy and Vincent Stevens from Eskasoni, and Barbara Broom from First Nations and Inuit Health. The lifetime achievement award was presented to Val Polchies from Woodstock First Nation for his years of dedication and service to First Nations in the field of addictions. Four training sessions were also offered to the participants including Re:Act Training, How to Identify Elder Abuse in First Nations Communities, Aboriginal Financial Management, The PLAR, (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition for Health Managers) and Conflict Resolution.

    East Bay Hills Wind Project Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study Prepared for: Cape Breton Hydro Inc. December 2012 – Version 1 M.E.K.S. Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) on behalf of Cape Breton Hydro Inc. (CBHI) for the proposed East Bay Hills Wind Power Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

  • APC Annual Report 918489 9/20/05 5:09 PM Page 1
    APC Annual Report 918489 9/20/05 5:09 PM Page 1 Executive Director’s Report ver the past year the relationship between First Nations and the Government of Canada has improved considerably. At the national level the AFN O(Assembly of First Nations) has created a better working environment with the ministers and senior government officials. Parties discussed issues and worked on plans to create work and various activities which have created a number of tangible results for the First Nations in Atlantic Canada. The Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable held in Ottawa on April 19th, 2004 set in motion solid discussions on a wide range of aboriginal issues. Because of the Roundtable meeting federal ministers who deal with First Nations and aboriginal peoples moved the issues to the forefront of their political mandates. In various speeches and documents including the Speech from the Throne, the Government of Canada expressed the view that fundamental transformative change was necessary to create and sustain new relationships and federal policies and develop change that is not based on failed federal policies of the past implemented with minimal input from First Nations people imposed on First Nations people and their communities. The year was one of dialogue and the development of innovative ideas and plans. Many perspectives were articulated at the six roundtables conducted by the Government of Canada. Over 200 participants attended the Roundtable including First Nations representatives in the areas of health, housing, lifelong learning, relationships and accountability. By the end of the year some ideas progressed into action with some federal funding support in the 2005 budget however, not to the degree needed by First Nation communities across the country.
