Indigenous Harmony Circle of Elders

The Elders committee was established in 2013/14 to be a support and/or to provide guidance to the Sasamans Society staff, other First Nations organizations, youth, families at risk, and other agencies including the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

This support includes cultural appropriateness, protocols in the traditional territories, guidance and the benefit of the Elders’ wisdom. The Elders have completed a variety of training and healing sessions with funds from New Horizons, First Nations Health Authority and New Relationship Trust. Some of the Elders are now ready to provide support and guidance in our communities.

These training/healing sessions are the root of the creation of an “Indigenous Outreach Elder Navigator” position. This person works with the Elders and organizations wanting to utilize their services.
