Healing in Pandemic Times: Indigenous Peoples, Stigma and COVID-19

The National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health and Northern Health have created this short animated video for Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences to draw attention to the ongoing issue of stigmatization experienced by Indigenous people in the health care system.

The video’s executive producer is Dr. Margo Greenwood, Vice President of Indigenous Health, Northern Health, and Academic Leader for NCCIH.

British Columbia’s Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has also expressed her support for this video.

Healing in Pandemic Times features animation by Joanne Gervais and music by Renae Morriseau and M’Girl.
