The ongoing #humanitarian support that True North Aid commits to is a direct result of the tragic legacy of #residentialschools & the resulting socio-economic & cultural inequities that #Indigenous communities across Canada continue to experience. youtu.be/NcHQFHJr4cQ

To recognize and learn more about the residential schools themselves, we invite you to watch The Ballantyne Project's video video about them.

Our work cannot get more practical than committing to provide mobility supports, menstrual and hygiene supplies, critical care items for mothers and infants and even providing mattresses and bedding, contributing to better sleep quality. #CallsToAction #IndigneousHealth

The True North Aid team has come up with a list of their favourite books from Indigenous authors in Canada. Their stories about Indigenous issues in Canada help to best inform us in our work. Here's our recommendations!

Our supporters fund incredible cultural programs including #traditional moose hide tanning. Participants gained new skills & friendships & reflected on how strong their grandmothers were, what they went through & how they did it. #Indigneous #Culture #CallstoAction
