The role of
culture in healing
As
part of the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s (SHA) commitment to Truth and
Reconciliation and our CARESvalues (compassion, accountability, respect, equity and safety), supporting
cultural healing means including Indigenous practices in medical care. For
Indigenous peoples, cultural practices are part of medicine. Language,
ceremony, songs, and teachings are not just traditions — they are ways of
healing the spirit, mind, and body. Inclusive care could include inviting an
Elder to offer prayer before surgery, providing space for smudging, or
connecting patients to additional resources for support.
Culturally
inclusive care helps patients feel safe, respected, and understood. It can
reduce stress and create a sense of balance, which supports overall health.
Orange
Shirt Day is a reminder of the times when Indigenous children were forcibly
removed from their cultures. Residential schools tried to erase languages,
ceremonies, and identities. Recognizing this history helps us understand why
culture is so important in healing, especially in health care.
SHA
staff can learn more and share their experiences in Truth and Reconciliation
work by contacting truthandreconciliation@saskhealthauthority.ca.
When
we prioritize culturally inclusive care, we show that Indigenous practices are
valued and respected, a key part of reconciliation.
As
a reminder, staff are invited to join a visual representation of our commitment
to Truth and Reconciliation by wearing an orange shirt on the last Friday of
the month (September 26),
as well as on September
30. Orange shirts can
be ordered by
visiting the SHA online store. Register for an account and order your shirt today. Use the group password
SHA-ECM when registering. Proceeds will support the Orange Shirt Society.
This
September 30,
let’s honour the healing power of culture by supporting it in our everyday
work.
