When Grant Bruno talks about caregiving in his Nehiyaw Plains Cree community, he calls it “caregifting”. The worldview of First Nations communities defines wealth not as how much you have, but how much you give away. The knowledge and practices of First Nations family care offer vital insights. Dr. Bruno is at the forefront of nurturing care within his community and is committed to sharing these teachings in ways that benefit and resonate with people across Canada.
Join Donna and Dr. Bruno as they discuss the exciting new Indigenous Caregiving Collective, self-care days for elders, and new models of community care rooted in indigenous traditions.
