Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21. It is also an opportunity to highlight the concrete actions carried out by Aboriginal people.
Nicolas Duny speaks with fourth-year Indigenous social work student at First Nations University Allysa Woodrow.
In 2019, Allysa Woodrow launched the “Tuesdays for Better Together” project, which encourages younger and older people to bond in the city of North Battleford to break the loneliness and thus prevent further cases of suicides in the city. community.
According to her, since 2019 the state of the mental health of the communities has improved. In part, because of his project.
Nevertheless, Allysa Woodrow believes that more resources need to be offered in communities that are located far from cities.
For National Indigenous Peoples Day, she invites Saskatchewanians to research what it means to be Indigenous.
