Who we serve Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre (SKHC) is an Aboriginal Health Access Centre (AHAC) dedicated to providing equal access to quality health care for all Aboriginal, Metis and Inuit people in the City of Greater Sudbury, and individuals and families from our partner First Nations: Wahnapitae, Henvey Inlet and Magnetawan. We are a culturally based holistic health centre dedicated to balanced and healthy lifestyles. Programs and services support traditional Aboriginal values encompassing the connectedness of emotional, spiritual, physical and mental well-being. In meeting our mandate and honouring the ancestors and the seven generations we have an intake process to access services of SKHC. Service delivery philosophy SKHC has a responsibility to promote and maintain health and provide therapeutic services, health promotion, disease prevention, support, community development and treatment programs. We offer an interdisciplinary team approach to the care of the community members because we believe that health care is best when planned with professionals from many disciplines. We believe that the maintenance of client confidentiality is of utmost importance. We recognize that a client is a worthwhile person and has the right to be treated with dignity while maintaining his/her identity. We believe that the client should be assured equal access to integrated services that incorporate the unique values, beliefs and traditions as we strive to maintain a balance of understanding by practicing Traditional healing ways and adopting good Western healing practices. SKHC respects the value and contribution of all employees, and we strive to uphold the highest professional and ethical standards. We recognize that health services must be provided as economically as possible while striving to obtain sufficient resources to meet out service objectives. We believe in and value the teachings of the Seven Sacred Grandfathers: WISDOM, LOVE, RESPECT, BRAVERY, HONESTY, HUMILITY and TRUTH. We strive to integrate these principles in our work and in our lives.

Wisdom | Nibwaakaawin To cherish knowledge is to know Wisdom. Wisdom is given by the Creator to be used for the good of the people. In the Anishinaabe language, this word expresses not only “wisdom,” but also means “prudence,” or “intelligence.” In some communities, Gikendaasowin is used; in addition to “wisdom,” this word can also mean “intelligence” or “knowledge.” Love | Zaagi’idiwin To know Love is to know peace. Love must be unconditional. When people are weak they need love the most. In the Anishinaabe language, this word with the reciprocal theme /idi/ indicates that this form of love is mutual. In some communities, Gizhaawenidiwin is used, which in most context means “jealousy” but in this context is translated as either “love” or “zeal”. Again, the reciprocal theme / idi/ indicates that this form of love is mutual. Respect | Minaadendamowin To honor all creation is to have Respect. All of creation should be treated with respect. You must give respect if you wish to be respected. Some communities instead use Ozhibwaadenindiwin orManazoonidiwin. Bravery | Aakode’ewin Bravery is to face the foe with integrity. In the Anishinaabe language, this word literally means “state of having a fearless heart.” To do what is right even when the consequences are unpleasant. Some communities instead use either Zoongadikiwin (“state of having a strong casing”) or Zoongide’ewin (“state of having a strong heart”). Honesty | Gwayakwaadiziwin Honesty in facing a situation is to be brave. Always be honest in word and action. Be honest first with yourself, and you will more easily be able to be honest with others. In the Anishinaabe language, this word can also mean “righteousness.” Humility | Dabaadendiziwin Humility is to know yourself as a sacred part of Creation. In the Anishinaabe language, this word can also mean “compassion.” You are equal to others, but you are not better. Some communities instead express this with Bekaadiziwin, which in addition to “humility” can also be translated as “calmness,” “meekness,” “gentility” or “patience.” Truth | Debwewin Truth is to know all of these things. Speak the truth. Do not deceive yourself or others. Seven Grandfather Teachings

Spirit Moon Spirit Moon is the time of the dancing spirits in the sky. This is when the northern lights blanket the skies which are believed to be the spirits gathering to share the sacred dance.

March is Nutrition Month and Child Life Month March 8: International Woman’s Day Broken Snowshoe Moon Broken Snowshoe Moon is a part of two months in the 12 month calendar, as it represents the other moon in the 13-Moon Calendar. The indigenous calendar is the natural way to count the 365-day year cycle, with the year being measured into 13 months, each one an even 28 days. Thirteen moons of 28 days gives 364 days - plus 1 “day out of time,” a day of celebration and forgiveness, to acknowledge the passing year and welcome the new year. In a 12 month calendar Broken Snowshoe moon is placed in-between the months of March and April following the natural moon cycle of creation.
