The Ojibway and Cree Cultural Centre is an organization that educates people about Indigenous culture and language. In signing this, you agree that the OCCC should continue in spreading awareness as well as working towards the expansion of their education. We believe that the OCCC should begin educating the Indigenous people about knowledge that would be useful to them, such as healthcare. Considering these people do not have access to proper education, we believe that the OCCC can inform them on common symptoms and treatments, as well as simple life style choices they can make to stay healthy.

I am currently talking with healthcare advocates about incorporating medical workshops into the current curriculum. Your stories about the gap in basic health resources are fueling these conversations.

The centre does good work but they need more funding to reach everyone who needs help with basic medical knowledge.

A great organization already doing great work. So, the OCCC should definitely expand and try to increase the content of their education to include topics on healthcare.
