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.

  • 2.0 Native Land Use - Historical Period
    2.0 NATIVE LAND USE - HISTORICAL PERIOD The first French explorers arrived in the Red River valley during the early 1730s. Their travels and encounters with the aboriginal populations were recorded in diaries and plotted on maps, and with that, recorded history began for the region known now as the Lake Winnipeg and Red River basins. Native Movements Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye records that there were three distinct groups present in this region during the 1730s and 1740s: the Cree, the Assiniboine, and the Sioux. The Cree were largely occupying the boreal forest areas of what is now northern and central Manitoba. The Assiniboine were living and hunting along the parkland transitional zone, particularly the ‘lower’ Red River and Assiniboine River valleys. The Sioux lived on the open plains in the region of the upper Red River valley, and west of the Red River in upper reaches of the Mississippi water system. Approximately 75 years later, when the first contingent of Selkirk Settlers arrived in 1812, the Assiniboine had completely vacated eastern Manitoba and moved off to the west and southwest, allowing the Ojibwa, or Saulteaux, to move in from the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior regions. Farther to the south in the United States, the Ojibwa or Chippewa also had migrated westward, and had settled in the Red Lake region of what is now north central Minnesota. By this time some of the Sioux had given up the wooded eastern portions of their territory and dwelt exclusively on the open prairie west of the Red and south of the Pembina River.
