North Shore Tribal Council:
Mamaweswen - Health Access Centres
|
|
The North Shore Tribal Council is a
community comprised of seven First Nations stretching from Sudbury to
Sault Ste. Marie: Whitefish Lake, Sagamok Anishnawbek, Serpent River,
Mississauga, Thessalon, Garden River and Batchewana.
In the late 1980s, the federal government began to devolve
responsibility for programs including health care, to First Nation
tribal councils. The first challenge the North Shore Tribal Council
faced was its own diversity and geography. The Council's members include
several linguistic sub-groups, and Ojibway migrations over the past 200
to 300 years have scattered them as far as Oklahoma, North Carolina, and
Ohio. More than 400 kilometres divide the council members in the east
from those in the west and they each have varying resources and services
available to them based on their location.
To bring these diverse nations together with other communities and
organizations, the council created the Mamaweswen Health Program.
Mamaweswen collaborates with the Union of Ontario Indians, the Lung
Association, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ontario Women's
Directorate, the Sault Ste. Marie Friendship Centre, the regional child
welfare agency, community health nurses, and a host of other communities
and organizations.
Since the Mamaweswen Health Program was founded, the community has made
significant gains in fostering "community wellness." They have increased
access to traditional healing practices and medicines and to traditional
spiritual and cultural practices which strengthen individuals and their
community. Also developed by the Council was the Long Term Care Program
that provides home support services and meals on wheels to community
members, as well as the community initiated suicide intervention and
prevention crisis response teams.
