  • Section M: Community Support
    Section M: Community Support Page 251 of 653 Community Support Health Canada’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services has developed the Children’s Services Reference Chart for general information on what types of health services are available in the First Nations’ communities. Colour coding was used to indicate where similar services might be accessible from the various community programs. A legend that explains each of the colours /categories can be found in the centre of chart. By using the chart’s colour coding system, resource teachers may be able to contact the communities’ agencies and begin to open new lines of communication in order to create opportunities for cost sharing for special needs services with the schools. However, it needs to be noted that not all First Nations’ communities offer the depth or variety of the services described due to many factors (i.e., budgets). Unfortunately, there are times when special needs services are required but cannot be accessed for reasons beyond the school and community. It is then that resource teachers should contact Manitoba’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services to ask for direction and assistance in resolving the issue. Manitoba’s Regional Advisor, Children’s Special Services, First Nations and Inuit Health Programs is Mary L. Brown. Phone: 204-­‐983-­‐1613 Fax: 204-­‐983-­‐0079 Email: [email protected] On page two is the Children’s Services Reference Chart and on the following page is information from the chart in a clearer and more readable format including

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.

  • Agnes Ross' Mémékwésiwak Stories and Treaty No. 5
    Water, Dreams and Treaties: Agnes Ross’ Mémékwésiwak Stories and Treaty No. 5 Janice Agnes Helen Rots-Bone A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © Janice Agnes Helen Rots-Bone i ABSTRACT This thesis uses indigenous methodologies, including personal narrative and Cree stories, both ācimowina, (history stories) and ādizōhkīwina (legends), to explore the history of Pimichikamak Okimawin (Cross Lake, Manitoba) with reference to Hydro development and Treaty No. 5 negotiations. The stories are those told by Agnes Marie Ross in the spring of 2018 and were transcribed and translated by the author. They address questions of hydro impact through stories about Cree relationships with Mémékwésiwak. In Agnes’ stories this relationship is beneficial because it enables Cree healers to obtain medicine to heal tuberculosis. Agnes’ stories about treaty making, while they reference her great grandfather Tépasténam, who signed treaty, focus on his son, Papámohtè Ogimaw, who had to fight another medicine man who was trying to control the Treaty relationship. They address the history of Treaty making through a family story about a battle of medicine men that is politically significant today. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS / EKOSI I would like to acknowledge my grandmother, Agnes Marie Ross for supporting my wishes that her great grand daughter, Rylie Anangoons Florence Bone, can hear about a way of understanding the world around us and learn to value the life that was lived around Pimichikamak Okimawin1, my mom who persevered despite colonialism, my sister Carey for encouraging me to go to University, and Adrian Carrier for encouraging me to take Native 1 Pimichikamak Okimawin used to be called Cross Lake.
