Wiidosem Dabasendizowin | Walking With Humility
Walking With Humility is a living document and long-term strategy that shares our story and commitment to improving healthcare with Indigenous Peoples. As we move around the Medicine Wheel, the East direction breathed life into N'doo'owe Binesi, while the South direction empowered our actions. Continuing around the circle, we now arrive at the West - a direction that calls on self-understanding.
Over the next four years of the plan, Embracing the Teachings of the West will focus on embracing ongoing teachings, reflecting on past lessons, and fostering enduring partnerships. Our actions will prioritize four key areas:

N'doo'owe Binesi
- Advancing Our Journey to Provide Culturally Safe Care for Indigenous Peoples
- Advancing Truth and Reconciliation
- Amplifying Indigenous Cultural Safety in the Region
- Nurturing N'doo'owe Binesi - SJCG's Indigenous Health division
With guidance from Ogichidaa Onaakonigewin, the Elders Advisory Council, we have embarked on the second of our Walking With Humility plans entitled Looking to the Southern Direction. Over the two years of the plan, Looking to the Southern Direction focuses on ensuring clients receive safe and culturally sensitive care and will support our staff, physicians and volunteers to work in the spirit of reconciliation, upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples in an environment that is free from racism and discrimination. Our actions will focus on six key areas:
- Integration of Indigenous Knowledge & Healing Practices
- Cultural Humility as a Journey
- Prioritizing Indigenous Health
- Continued Engagement in Indigenous Research & Evaluation
- Indigenous Leadership & Governance
- Communications
- A Healing Way Forward
