Health & Wellness

The foundation of the Aboriginal way of life are built on the seven sacred teachings: Truth, Honesty, Humility, Courage, Respect, Love and Wisdom.

Together the seven sacred teachings support a positive, healthy lifestyle. This is the foundation for the Kwikwetlem First Nation Health Department which is community-driven and Nation focused.

The Health Department respects and listens to the community, and strives to deliver the services that the members want and need to support their good health and wellness. All programs, workshops and events have been developed at the direction of the community members within funding requirements.

Ongoing programs include: 

  • Regalia making,
  • Carving class,
  • Cedar gathering and projects, 
  • Cultural teaching, drumming and songs,
  • Blanket making, 
  • Women's group,
  • Men's group, and 
  • Community events. 

Events are open to all members of the KFN community and schedules are always included in the community newsletter. If you have any questions about these activities, please contact the administration office.
