Indigenous Edmonton Directory (2017)

Indigenous Edmonton Directory kisik

This series of paintings is inspired by the quiet spaces where Elders and Youngers sit together. They learn so much from each other through observation and careful contemplation. It is my hope to have as many of these moments as humanly possible as both.

Edmonton is home to a dynamic, vibrant, and an energetic Indigenous Community. It is young, entrepreneurial, educated, culturally active, artistic, and caring. It is the home of the second largest urban Aboriginal population in Canada, and lies in the heart of Treaty No. 6 territory. It is the headquarters of the Metis Nation of Alberta, and a gateway to the north for many Inuit who seeks services away from home. Edmonton is a hub for visitors before embarking to the numerious Treaty 8 First Nations and Metis Settlements in Northen Alberta, and welcomes many other Indigenous people who come to Edmonton to work live and play.

Thus, the “Indigenous community” is not one community, but “many communities.” It is a reflection of the diversity and multifaceted population which calls Edmonton one of their homes. The Indigenous Peoples in Edmonton have roots that are deeply sown and well-traveled through-out the whole of the City and extend from the past, through to the present, and will continue well into the future.

This Directory has built upon the work initiated by the Edmonton Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee to collaboratively reproduce, with communities, this directory. We hope you find it useful and your feedback and suggestions are welcomed.

How to Use This Directory ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– We have categorized the contents by sectors followed by an alphabetical listing of all organizations and service providers.

PHONE: 780-424-4106 WEBSITE: www.boylestreet.org

Boyle Street Community Services is a non-profit Edmonton agency which assists individuals and families challenged by homelessness and poverty. First established in 1971 as a small storefront operation, the agency has grown to meet the needs of its client community, and now each year more than 12,000 people – more than 70 per cent of whom are of Aboriginal descent – access the wide range of supports and services which are available.

Many of our daily clients are either sleeping rough or in shelters. They are all, without exception, extremely poor, and many of them are marginalized because of their ethnicity and their poverty. At our centre in the inner city we do all we can to support them. We provide cultural, outreach, mental health, housing, family and youth and employment services as well as a drop-in where the community can enjoy great food, warmth and companionship.

We also have group homes in different Edmonton locations which are for children and at risk youth ranging in age from two to 17. And in the northeast of the city we own a 62-unit apartment building which houses many people who were previously homeless. We also partner with other agencies to provide services which complement those offered by Boyle Street. These range from child and youth focused programs to needle exchange and health supports for street involved sex trade workers. At the heart of our work, we listen, care and empower our clients in order to assist them to find solutions. Our community members are diverse, and we welcome everyone. We serve adults, youth and families and act as a knowledgeable resource for aboriginal, LGBTQ and new immigrant communities.

Heather Shillinglaw Infamous Art Group ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 3452 - 78 Avenue Edmonton, AB T6B 2X9

PHONE: 780-932-2120 EMAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: http://heathershillinglaw.com

Heather Shillinglaw has had over 25 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows. Known worldwide for her unique blending of traditional beadwork with mixed media and nature. Art has been an inspiration for her since she was a child, her dreams of being an artist flourished as she received a BFA from Alberta College of Art and Design in 97.

Her working palette is various methods of collaging and as she fuses these materials together the meaning and imagery from our landscape sets the focus on the healing powers of our prairies and boreal forests. Within her work there are threads of environmental awareness in both her paintings and sculptural pieces. She has learned from elders, medicine women and via cultural sharing while studying indigenous medicinal plants and sustainability for communities. As this has affected my passion and practice I have had invitations for speaking engagements in the USA, South America and Europe. My artwork can be found in many collections of both private and corporate collections, larger scale public works include the Fort McMurray TOTAL Aboriginal Interpretive Trail where you can find my newest piece ’Sky Spirit Courage of Mother Bear’. As an artist I take a holistic approach and share my art by teaching workshops and giving lectures about my work and the importance of art speaking the voice of protecting our environment to what will be left for future generations.

NCSA was established in 1970 with the objective of providing assistance in courts to Aboriginal people in conflict with the law. Agency leaders recognized that Aboriginal people often feel alienated and confused by legal and court procedures, and require support in navigating the judicial system. In response to these unique needs of Aboriginal people, NCSA established its flagship Courtworker Program. NCSA has since grown into a dynamic, multifaceted agency committed to providing healing and harmony to the Aboriginal community through a variety of avenues. Programs that prevent youth recruitment into street gangs, family and community wellness programming to legal education, national health campaigns, video production and community-based research, while establishing a province-wide presence through an extensive network of regional and branch offices. Over the past four decades, our organization has helped to shape restorative and social justice models and practices, and have provided programs and services designed and delivered by Aboriginal people for Aboriginal people.
