The Urban Indigenous Community

In the third episode of the Creating Communities of Care Podcast, we learn more about the Urban Indigenous experience, how being separated from community can impact an individual, and one program in particular that is reuniting Indigenous women with their culture.

The Mi’kmaq Native Friendship Centre has been a fixture in Kjipuktuk (also called Halifax) for decades, serving the Urban Indigenous community in a myriad of ways. From childcare to housing, to cultural services and everything in between, the Friendship Centre provides it all to status and non-status members of the community. In this episode, we explore how building relationships and reinforcing culture can provide a path to healing and prosperity.
