The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people. The idea for the directory arose from the desire to make information about Indigenous organizations more available to the public. 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.

Abstract The Nêhiyawak, Four-Body People, known as the Plains Cree, reside in the territory of Maskwacîs. Of the Four Nations that encompass Maskwacis, this study focuses on Nipisihkopahk, also known as Samson Cree Nation and is located 70km south of the city of Edmonton in Alberta. Governance for the Nêhiyawak lies in the philosophical and spiritual teachings passed down through generations of ancestral knowledge especially in discussions relating to wâhkôtowin, kinship, ohtaskanesowin, origin, and the teachings from Wîsahêcâhk, Elder Brother, who taught the Nêhiyawak about morality and self through oral narratives. As relationships between the settler state of Canada and Indigenous Nations create dialogue concerning authority and autonomy, this study discusses the methods utilized through community collaboration for the process of enacting traditional governance.

  • Supporting Grief, Mourning and Mental Health During COVID-19
    VOICES FROM THE FIELD Welcome to Voices from the Field, a podcast series produced by the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health. The NCCIH focuses on innovative research and community-based initiatives promoting the health and well-being of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. Episode 16: Supporting grief, mourning and mental health during COVID-19 In this episode, Dr. Jeffrey Ansloos discusses everyday foundations of Indigenous peoples’ mental health, well-being and healing, both broadly as well as specific to the current pandemic. With public health restrictions in place on travel and large social gatherings, collective grieving and mourning to celebrate the life of loved ones has been severely limited. Here, Dr. Ansloos discusses its long-term effects and the need for proactive adaptations to support the emotional and mental health needs of families and communities. He ends by reinforcing the strengths of communities and how they support greater mental health and well-being. BIO Jeffrey Ansloos, Ph.D., C.Psych., is a member of Fisher River Cree Nation (Ochekwi-Sipi; Treaty 5). He is a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Professor of Indigenous Mental Health and Social Policy, and Chair of the Indigenous Education Network at the University of Toronto. He is a current Canada Research Chair in Critical Studies in Indigenous Health and Social Action on Suicide, at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. His scholarship focuses on psychological, sociopolitical, economic, cultural, environmental, and technological dimensions of suicide, particularly as occurring among Indigenous communities in Canada, as well as, identifying every day and clinical practices which enhance wellbeing and prevent suicide, especially through cultural, land- based, and community-centered approaches.
