The Cultural Program

The Cultural Program promotes sharing and understanding of First Nation culture and its philosophies. It assists First Nations people in continuing the traditions of oral teachings, and ensures the opportunity to integrate First Nations philosophies, beliefs and healing ways into a clinical setting. Within the FHQTC and the TATC are people who represent four main Nations -the Cree Nation, the Saulteaux Nation, the Dakota Nation and the Nakoda Nation.
On request, ceremonies are available to clients in the hospital and their families, and to clients in the community. An elder is available within the Centre, or clients may choose to bring their own ceremonialist to the Centre. Protocols, such as Elders only sitting in the chairs, were developed by the Program Manager in consultation with Elders from the four Nations represented within the 16 First Nation owners. On a weekly basis, the Elder Helper assists in hosting sweats for women, men and youth in the Winter Lodge, located just outside the facility. Four medicines are used the facility for smudging purposes only: sweet grass, tobacco, sage and cedar. An Elders Suite, a separate suite with a bedroom, full kitchen and washroom, is used for the comfort of visiting Elders.
