A New Path to Forge: Toward Equitable Access to Health Care in Urban Settings for Indigenous Peoples
Position paper tabled with the Government of Canada during the development of new Indigenous health legislation.
Indigenous health legislation should recognize the specific needs of urban Indigenous people and acknowledge Native Friendship Centres as key health and social services providers. Ongoing discussion and a suitable Indigenous governance model are needed to guarantee service accessibility, quality and financing.
