Canada’s Politics and Government News Source Since 1989

The month we learned that mental health is everybody’s responsibility

So many are realizing that mental health is actually a daily practice, and practice is work. First Nations sometimes call it something else; we sometimes call it balance.

Elder Sam Achneepineskum Sr. is from Martin Falls First Nation located on the Albany River, smack dab in the middle of northern Ontario. Elder Sam was born and raised in the northern Ontario wilderness, and grew up on the land. He shared with me that when you live a life governed by what nature provides, one values different things than a life lived in materialism and capitalism. He shared about a life and values and knowledge gained by learning to adapt to the seasons and weather, 'a course for your survival, and one learns to follow natural law,' writes Rose LeMay.
