Keewatinohk Inniniw Minoayawin Inc. The community members of the northern Manitoba First Nations are the foundation of this new and historic health care system.

(KIM) is a First Nations-led and governed health transformation organization working with and on behalf of 23 First Nations in northern Manitoba. (KIM) was established to work towards a new health system that will better respond to the needs of northern First Nations people in Manitoba. KIM supports health and wellness services for 23 Sovereign First Nation communities in northern Manitoba with a focus on equitable care, addressing racism in the health care system, responsiveness to emerging needs, and filling gaps in the health care system. This is accomplished through advocacy, collaboration, and integration with the First Nation communities, and federal/provincial partners. This new system will be developed through speaking directly to healthcare experts and communities and negotiating with systems so that services can be tailored to meet the needs of each First Nation and northern First Nations as a collective. KIM is governed by a three-part structure led by First Nations and is inclusive of 23 political leaders appointed by each of 6 caucuses and a 5 to 11 member board of directors with preference in selection to persons with experience in the health sector. KIM's purpose and objectives are as follows:

- to aid northern First Nations to achieve wellness (minoayawin) with respect to the sovereignty of each Nation.

- to articulate and communicate the benefits of health initiatives undertaken by the entity to the northern First Nations communities, inclusive of leadership and the people.

- to establish priorities on health in order to respond to the service needs related to governance, capacity, training, infrastructure, and best practices.

- to increase access to physician services on-reserve equivalent to, or better than, the accepted standard of care, as regulated and prescribed by the Province of Manitoba and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba.

- to expand primary care service delivery.

- to increase public participation in health care delivery.

- to coordinate and integrate health care delivery collaboratively and in partnership.

- to increase access to medical screening, disease location and early diagnosis and treatment.

- to identify and respond to health-related service gaps and facilitate timely access to specialized health related services.

- to administer, deliver and flow through funding and other assets and apply such funds and assets for health-related services being provided directly or indirectly to First Nations of northern Manitoba.

- to research, plan, develop and implement a framework acceptable to First Nations on the transition of health programs to First Nations control.

- to improve health care outcomes and provide better access to health care for First Nations people.

- to provide culturally safe traditional healing approaches to support and improve the health and well-being of First Nations people.

Today, Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Inc. Grand Chief Garrison Settee, along with Brenda Wood, Chief of Staff, and Jason Neepin, Intergovernmental Relations Officer, joined Keewatinohk Inniniw Minoayawin CEO Michelle Monkman and Charlene Brass, Intergovernmental Advisor, for an important discussion with Ministers Uzoma Asagawara and Bernadette Smith about improving health outcomes for First Nation citizens across northern Manitoba.

Grand Chief Settee acknowledged the progress being made through working together, including efforts to strengthen northern health governance and improve access to mental health, addictions treatment and recovery supports.

While progress is being made, much more needs to be done.

Northern First Nation citizens continue to face barriers to primary and emergency care, mental wellness and addictions treatment, medical transportation, and culturally safe health services.

MKO continues to advocate for greater investment in the North and for First Nation-led approaches to mental wellness, harm reduction, healing and recovery that reflect the needs, cultures and realities of First Nations.
Where we live should never determine the quality of health care we receive.

By working together and ensuring First Nations are at the decision-making table, we can continue building a stronger, more responsive health system for northern Manitoba.

Yesterday was the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People, a day to honour and remember those who are missing or have been taken, and to stand with the families, Survivors, communities and Nations who continue to carry their stories.

While October 4 is an important day for awareness and action, this work cannot be limited to a single day. We all have a responsibility to listen, learn, speak out against violence and support safer communities for Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.

We honour those who are missing, those who have been taken, and the families and communities who continue to seek justice, healing and change.

On October 1, 2026, KIM CEO Michelle Monkman and co-presenter Trevor visited Kelvin High School to explore truth and reconciliation, the ongoing impacts of residential schools, and inequities in education and health care. Michelle shared personal experiences and highlighted KIM’s work to advance First Nations-led health care and address anti-First Nations racism.

Through interactive activities and real-life examples, students examined privilege, power and how assumptions shape the way people are treated. The presentation encouraged meaningful allyship through listening, questioning stereotypes, challenging racism and supporting others, emphasizing that reconciliation requires ongoing action beyond Orange Shirt Day.

Thank you to Kelvin High School for the invitation and warm welcome, and to the students for their participation and thoughtful reflection.
