Urban Indigenous Forum: Addressing systemic racism in healthcare
On November 6, 2020, the National Association of Friendship Centres hosted an online forum on systemic racism in healthcare. Our goal with this forum was to honour urban Indigenous experiences in accessing our right to healthcare as well as the experiences of those who transport between on-reserve and northern communities to urban settings.
