Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day! On this day, we learn more about the diverse and enriching stories, cultures, aspirations and ways of knowing and being that Indigenous Peoples contribute to our world. This year, National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrates Indigenous languages, cultures and art. In keeping with this focus, Shift Health would like to bring awareness to the importance of art and its connection to promoting wellbeing in Indigenous communities. The 2012 National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health (NCCIH) publication "Art and Wellness: The Importance of Art for Aboriginal Peoples' Health and Healing" highlights the following: • Cultural Connection and Identity: Traditional art forms are passed down through generations. Engaging with these art forms strengthens connections to cultural identity and heritage, providing a sense of belonging and grounding. • Community Strength and Resilience: Art is often a communal activity, fostering connections and shared experiences within Indigenous communities. This sense of belonging and support is crucial for mental wellbeing, especially when facing challenges. • Bridge Between Cultures: Indigenous art appreciation by non-Indigenous people creates opportunities for understanding and cultural exchange. This can help address the power imbalances that contribute to mental health struggles. Let's work together to integrate traditional art forms and other practices into holistic wellness, fostering a more inclusive system for all communities. By recognizing and valuing the cultural heritage of Indigenous communities, we can enhance overall wellbeing and support more equitable health outcomes.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day and it is the day we celebrate the heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.   The visual for National Indigenous Peoples Day includes some of the same elements as the National Indigenous History Month design. The sun, represented by the date "June 21", remains in the centre to demonstrate its importance in the festivities. First Nations, Inuit and Métis as well as the four elements of nature (earth, water, fire and air) are represented by different symbols and colours. The visual is supported by a multi-coloured smoke* reminding us of Indigenous spirituality but also the colours of the rainbow, symbol of inclusion and diversity of all First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and their members.   *Smoke is used in different ways by all three Indigenous groups in Canada. Whether it is to smoke fish and meat, to burn sage and tobacco or for sacred ceremonies or celebrations, it is a significant symbol in Indigenous culture.   Description of the three icons: - The eagle represents First Nations - The narwhal represents Inuit - The violin represents Métis Reference: Government of Canada – Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital acknowledges that it is situated on unceded traditional Algonquin territory and with this acknowledgement comes respect for the land, people and the shared history of the territory. #NIPD2024
