First Nations Principles of Health and Wellness

The First Nations Principles of Health and Wellness emphasize a holistic view that health encompasses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. These principles recognize the importance of connection to the land, community, culture, and traditions in healing and maintaining health. They stress that wellness is a continuous journey, shaped by relationships, respect, and self-determination. This approach values balance and harmony within individuals and their communities, understanding that health is not just the absence of illness but includes living a meaningful, culturally connected life.
