“We are all Ongomiizwin”

The roots of Ongomiizwin are in our teachings, our traditional health systems, our ancestors’ active work of resistance so that we can be who we are today, doing the work that we do to serve our communities. Through this presentation, you are encouraged to consider how we are all Ongomiizwin — clearing paths for generations to come.
