Sayisi Dene First Nation HEALING
Your Trustees are committed to incorporating healing into all of the operations of the Trust and to assisting Members on their healing journey whenever possible.
We will do this by consciously thinking and asking ourselves if any given action can contribute to healing. This will be fundamental to evaluating project proposals. We will also try to identify articles, films and other materials that members can access on their own to assist in their own personal healing journeys.
We invite all members to identify material, ideas or approaches that will contribute to the healing process.
