Land Acknowledgement

The Brant Community Healthcare System acknowledges the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee (phonetic sp: ho-day know-show-nee) Neutral and Ojibway peoples. This territory is reflective of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum; which states a collective consciousness that all allied Nations may share the resources in our territories, while keeping the responsibility of sustainability in our minds for future generations to come. We honor the spirit of the land and Indigenous knowledge of these Ancestors.

Indigenous Allyship Toolkit

The Indigenous Allyship Toolkit: A guide to honouring culture, authentic collaboration and addressing discrimination, has been prepared by the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Indigenous Health Network in partnership with the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Local Health Integration Network (HNHB LHIN) to support health care providers in addressing inequities.

Recognizing there are many existing resources available on this subject created by elders, knowledge keepers and experts, this toolkit is a compilation of these resources and reflection exercises to deepen understanding and provide practical techniques to aid in your journey of self-awareness and allyship.

This toolkit is intended to provide essential resources that will inspire settlers to advocate for social justice for Indigenous people and to appropriately act upon anti-Indigenous racism.
