Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) is full steam ahead with events for Mental Health Week. With high percentages of Indigenous persons reporting worsening mental health since the start of Covid-19, specifically Indigenous women with 46 per cent experiencing more stressful days and 48 per cent experiencing symptoms consistent with moderate or severe generalized anxiety disorder, these events couldn’t come at a better time. Healing with Creator On Tuesday Elder Al Hunter, traditional healer and knowledge keeper, hosted a virtual meeting discussing Love and the Importance of the Eagle Feather. He spoke deeply of trusting yourself and the land, allowing for the connection to guide us through hardships we may experience.
