Summary
The Ganohonyohk: Indigenous Prosperity Project is a 3-year project with 7 Friendship Centre communities in Ontario that explores community-driven understandings of prosperity, as a strengths-based alternative to poverty reduction. Findings to date demonstrate that wholistic wellbeing is central to Indige- nous understandings of prosperity, and the ability to connect to land and the natural environment is a central component of this wellbeing. This presentation will share insights on the connec- tions between positive health outcomes for urban Indigenous people and access to/ presence on the land.
