COVID-19, Indigenous Communities, Health Sovereignty and Working Together for Change
Join Kitatipithitamak Mithwayawin and University College of the North for a virtual international gathering, as we connect and share stories and experiences of Indigenous health sovereignty and resilience during the pandemic from around the world.
Over three days we will learn, share, and collaboratively present new ideas for moving forward. This gathering will be a celebration of our successes, as we bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members, healthcare workers, academics, students and youth from all over the world.
We hope you will join us.
