NORTHERN FIRST NATIONS HEALTH AUTHORITY NEWS
Welcome to the Feb. 2023 edition of NORTH
IN THIS EDITION
 
We are blessed to have artists whose works touch our hearts. None moreso than Clayton Gauthier, a Carrier and Cree person, who shares how he came to design Prayers for the Spirit, a piece that honours the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Men.
 
As the 63rd All Native Basketball Tournament wraps up in Prince Rupert, a long time player, organizer and broadcaster, Willis Parnell, shares some memories and observations about tourney.
 
Post secondary Indigenous students and new grads can apply to work temporarily at the FNHA. Find out how in this month's Job For You.
 
The northern region is planning a youth gathering to find out what young people's ideas, dreams and concerns are. And leading the planning are two of our own young leaders. Read about them in this month's Bonfire Chat.
 
FYI UBC is recruiting students in grades 9-12 to attend a one-week cultural, health and science program in Vancouver. Significant funding is available to solve transportation challenges in rural communities. The FNHA is seeking input from the Urban and Away from Home population. If any of this interests you, check out page 6.
 
Scenes from this year's All Native are featured in our gallery. See if you spot any friends or relatives!
 
 
 
On the cover
We wouldn't have fierce, competitive, fair basketball without teams and refs. Thank you to all who make the games happen and to all players and officials, especially!. Tèèè
