The health educator at the All Nations Healing Hospital in Fort Qu’Appelle, SK, provides an overview of programs and services offered to Indigenous communities and schools within Treaty 4 territory.
Shane Quewzance focuses on three entities at the All Nations Healing Hospital. First, the White Raven Healing Center collaborates with knowledge keepers, addictions workers, clinical psychologists, women’s health, and crisis intervention teams to provide the community with holistic and comprehensive treatment options. Second, the Pasikow Muskwa Rising Bear Healing Centre collaborates with knowledge keepers, registered nurses, dieticians, diabetes educators, and pharmacists to engage community members with the Chronic Kidney Wellness Initiative. Third, the FHQ Health Services Youth Action Plan (YAP) is funded by Health Canada’s Brighter Futures program and has been providing second-level health services since 2010. The YAP team is driven by the youth of the eleven First Nations within the File Hills – Qu’Appelle Tribal Council (FHQTC). The YAP team provides health programming for youth in Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 who meet during the school year. They are given leadership opportunities to host meetings on topics of their discretion, but often include themes of suicide, addiction, bullying, gangs, culture, and tradition. By engaging youth, in discussions about issues facing the community, they become knowledgeable, resilient, and empowered.

By understanding that Indigenous Education is rooted in the cultural traditions of Indigenous people GPRC provides numerous supports to help Indigenous students succeed. Fostering the only on-campus Friendship Centre in Canada with a full time Elder in Residence are clear indicators of that GPRC’s commitment to acting on this understanding to support its Indigenous students. GPRC also has the Circle of Indigenous Students which is a student elected executive body that works to carry the Indigenous student voice on campus. Its role is to ensure Indigenous culture is honored and celebrated on-campus. Support is not focused on the academic portion of student life. The role of the Indigenous Liaison Coordinator in the college is to provide social support services to Indigenous students to help move them toward success. Coordinator ensures Indigenous culture is included, celebrated and honored within the college. This is built upon solid relationships developed within the college and the community. The goal of the Circle of Indigenous Students on-campus is ensuring Indigenous students are immediately connected to the urban Indigenous community and that they have access to celebration and ceremony – this is a critical piece of striving for student success on and off campus.
