Indigenous leader says Vancouver Island hospital project turns fear to healing

Our people will now call this hospital a place for healing, not a place of fear but a place of healing, Charlie said a news conference outlining details about the replacement project. Cowichan Tribes members want to be part of efforts to rebuild a trust with the health care system, he said. Cowichan Tribes, not only Cowichan Tribes but First Nations, have had negative experiences with hospitals, institutions, Charlie said. It has taken away our trust from these institutions. In the past we experienced racism and we had to come through the back door. Earlier this year, Cowichan Tribes leaders said racist comments were directed at tribal members by some non-Indigenous residents after a COVID-19 outbreak was declared in their community.
