We are thrilled to welcome Erin Funk back to the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Program team!

Erin, originally from Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Treaty 5 territory, is a proud Indigenous nurse with nearly two decades of experience across diverse healthcare settings, including Community and Public Health, Maternal Child Health, Primary Care, Education, and Long-Term Care.

Throughout her career, Erin has dedicated herself to serving First Nation communities across Manitoba. Most recently, she contributed to the successful Accreditation of the Rod McGillivary Memorial Care Home in Opaskwayak Cree Nation as part of a team of Indigenous nurses. Today, she rejoins the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Program at SE Health as an Education Liaison, where she continues to champion collaboration and capacity-building with communities across Turtle Island.

Welcome back, Erin! We're so excited to have you!

Human rights are universal—and they belong to everyone in Canada, regardless of identity, culture, or community. Yet for many Indigenous Peoples, these rights remain out of reach. Today, we honour the resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities and commit to action on the rights that matter most:

💜 Accessibility: Every person deserves equitable access to education, employment, and public spaces. Indigenous communities continue to face barriers that must be dismantled.

💜 Clean Drinking Water: Safe water is a basic human right. Yet many Indigenous communities still live under long-term boil-water advisories.

💜 Access to Land: Land is life. Protecting Indigenous land rights means safeguarding culture, food security, and sovereignty.

💜 Healthcare: Indigenous Peoples deserve culturally safe, accessible healthcare—free from discrimination and systemic barriers..

We are proud to share an important milestone in SE Health's Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) journey with the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB)!

The SE Health Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors recently came together in a powerful session to learn, share, and commit to building upon the incredible 25-year legacy of our SE First Nations, Inuit and Métis Program.

This step was made possible through the inspiring work and education provided by Brittany Hertz and Corey MacKenzie from the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Team. Their leadership reminds us that reconciliation is not a destination—it is a commitment to walk together, listen deeply, and act with purpose.

Here’s what our leaders had to say:

→ “Strength lives in story when we make space to hear it.”
→ “This isn’t a checkbox, it’s a commitment.”
→ “We’re building on our foundation, walking alongside, and committed to reconciliation.”

We are so excited to welcome our newest Education Liaison, Tina Tremblay, to the SE Health First Nations, Inuit and Métis Program team!

Tina graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2025 and brings almost 15 years of acute care experience to her role. Tina worked as a wound care specialist for three years at her local hospital in Eastern Ontario, where she developed a strong clinical foundation and a passion for high-quality, evidence-informed care.

Tina has supported nursing education for more than five years, leading clinical experiences in both long-term care and acute care settings. She also previously worked with SE Health as a visiting nurse, an experience that strengthened her commitment to patient-centred and holistic care.

An Algonquin First Nation member, Tina values the cultural, spiritual, and community dimensions of health and healing. She believes in leading from behind—supporting others to build confidence, capacity, and excellence in care—and is dedicated to empowering patients as well as nursing staff and students through knowledge sharing and collaborative practice. She is excited to contribute her experience and commitment to high-quality, culturally informed care in this role.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Tina!

Dialogue and Storywork was a project aimed at improving First Nations, Inuit and Métis cancer patient transition experiences and to increase available knowledge and information for primary care providers and communities during these periods.

Stories were collected from 45 participants which led to the emergence of themes that wove together into final videos called Transition Support Resources. Not only do these resources present information for cancer patients, survivors, and their families and communities at large, but they also contribute to the generation of understanding between patients and care providers.

Read our blog to learn about the project, how it began, and what we learned through the stories shared from participants: https://fnim.sehc.com/bridging-the-gap-dialogue-and-storywork-in-support-of-first-nations-cancer-patients-throughout-oncology-and-primary-care-transition-experiences/

On November 20, 1989, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Canada joined in 1991, making a commitment to ensure that all children in Canada are treated with dignity and respect, and have every opportunity to reach their full potential.

To this day, Indigenous children continue to face struggles due to historical policies of assimilation, structural inequalities and discrimination. Indigenous children still experience the highest rate of child poverty in Canada and are overrepresented in the child welfare system.

To address some of these inequalities experienced by Indigenous children, Jordan's Principle was created as a human rights principle established by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) to make sure that Indigenous children do not face gaps, delays, or denials in accessing government services because of their identity as Indigenous children.

November 16th, also known as Louis Riel Day, marks the anniversary of Louis Riel's ex*****on in 1885. Riel is best recognized historically for leading the Métis Peoples in the Northwest Resistance, which was a stand against the Government of Canada encroaching on Métis rights and way-of-life. Riel is also known for the remarkable political gains he made setting the groundwork for his vision of Canada that included a Métis Nation and protected Métis rights.

Although Louis Riel Day commemorates a great tragedy in Canadian and Métis history, it is also a day to celebrate Métis culture, recognize the many contributions of the Métis to Canada, and to highlight the ongoing struggles that Métis Peoples continue to face.
