Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation

Call Directions

Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation The Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation was a self-determined traditional wellness initiative with the mandate of culturally reviving traditional healing

Both Inuit and Dene elder leaders have come together with young Indigenous trail blazers including the Metis from various fields to bring forth this project to the people of the north. Solely defined and lead by traditional protocol, elders will be the guiding force and vision for how the AIWF fulfills its mandate. The AIWF is meant to fill the void left by residential schools in the Arctic by following through with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action, point #21, in addition to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, article 21, point #1.

AIWF Closure Notice
Dear Community Members, Partners, and Clients,
Please note that the AIWF camp will remain closed after the holidays due to ongoing capacity issues.
Thank you again to our travel coordinators, social workers, Elders, counsellors, shelter partners, dedicated volunteers, and all clients for your patience and understanding through our transition. We were able to serve many clients and groups across the Arctic and North, and all of your collaboration and support made this possible. We encourage all to continue focusing on gratitude to the Creator, fostering a deep connection to the land, and praying (in whichever way is your way) for strength as we all move through a changing world. Our Elders remind us to always work together and bring each other up.
