Overview
The theme of Gathering Wisdom for a Shared Journey (GWSJ) VIII was “Learning from the Past and Planning for the Future”. The theme recognizes that the social determinants of health are not a new concept to Indigenous peoples. Each Nation has stories, teachings and traditions that speak to a holistic concept of health – a concept that reflects the connection between physical, mental, spiritual and emotional dimensions of wellbeing. It is important to reflect on these teachings, values and traditions in charting the course for the next step of this health journey
