Language is a right that our ancestors fought for us to keep. Having translators in the healthcare system is vital and a public health issue. Nakumeek to all Indigenous patient navigators, advocates, and translators. #MED6288 #IndigenousHealth #IndigenousLanguages

Happy National Indigenous Languages Day! Today and every day, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami celebrates #Inuktut, the rich array of dialects spoken by #Inuit.

Overcrowded housing is a public health issue and must be addressed to ensure that everyone has adequate safe space and to slow the spread of infectious diseases. #MED6288 #IndigenousHealth #HousingIsHealthcare

Hospital parking should be free everywhere, no matter what. It's an accessibility issue. #MED6288 #AccessibleHealthcare

The NCC has caused serious harm to both Nunatsiavut Inuit and the Innu of Nitassinan. This added stress is bad for mental and physical health, but we are strong and resilient and we will NOT give in. #MED6288 #IndigenousHealth #InuitKnow

End-of-life care is healthcare, including MAiD. There should be culturally attuned options for end-of-life care for everyone, including Indigenous patients #MED6288 #IndigenousHealth #CulturallySafeCare #EndOfLifeCare

Housing is a human right. For many Indigenous people, this right is neglected. Auditor General Karen Hogan says the government has made little progress on improving housing in First Nations communities over the past 20 years. Totally unacceptable. https://t.co/bMG9uhZgOX

Access to safe and affordable housing is healthcare #MED6288 #IndigenousHealth #Housing

‘This neglect must stop. First Nations deserve safe homes.’

@APTNNews The government told them if they didn’t like their new home, they could leave if they wanted to.
But, like so many promises to Indigenous people, they reneged on their part of the deal.
