NORTHERN FIRST NATIONS HEALTH AUTHORITY NEWS
Welcome to the September 2023 edition of NORTH
IN THIS EDITION
 
Our September edition is a little late but for a good reason: on October 3, 2023 the First Nations Health Authority celebrated its 10th anniversary as Canada's first health authority of its kind. And we wanted to share some memories with you.
 
Stories from the Land take us to Vancouver's Downtown Eastside where outreach work is having some unique successes. 
 
Not everyone is familiar with the First Nations Health Authority, so we're giving a bit of an overview in Sharing Strengths. For the in-depth story of the FNHA's formation, click the link at the bottom of that page.
 
Have We Got a Job for You! If you feel the connection to culture, sky, land, water, air and the Ancestors, and want to help incorporate traditional wellness into the health care system, we are looking for a traditional wellness specialist. We have other great jobs available too. 
 
In early September the FNHA hosted  Healing Our Spirit Worldwide. Julie Morrison reflects on the bond that Indigenous peoples share across the globe in Bonfire Chat.
 
FYI  we list upcoming events. It's flu season again, and a reminder to get vaccinated. The deadline for REF has been extended. So has the deadline for Day Scholars to file for compensation.
 
It was a trip down memory lane looking at photo archives from the past ten years in our gallery Through Northern Eyes.
 
 
 
On the cover
On October 3, 2013, the First Nations Health Authority come into existence, as a result of First Nations voting to take control of First Nations health services. We recognize a decade of growth, service and change.
