Health is more than the absence of illness. It is relationship. It is ceremony. It is language. It is land. It is family. It is Reclaiming our Indigenous Ecologies of Love Future Generations.

The Indigenous Health and Healing sub-theme embraces the broad and powerful vision of Indigenous wellbeing, from mental health, maternal care, and epidemic recovery, to traditional medicine, harm reduction, high-performance athletics, and Indigenized biomedicine.

It honors culture and ceremony as medicine.
οΏ½It calls for healthcare systems that are culturally responsive and anti-discriminatory.

It prioritizes Indigenous healing practices and knowledge systems.

If you are working at the intersections of traditional knowledge, biomedicine, research, healthcare, science, policy, or practice β€” this space is for you!
