As we honour National Indigenous Peoples Day, we reflect on how we can create meaningful relationships to support the Indigenous community through health research. WE-SPARK sits on the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibwa, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi.
