This year's plan builds on the foundation laid in our
2023–2024 action plan and reaffirms our commitment to addressing, disrupting, and dismantling Indigenous-specific racism within the health regulatory system.
This year, we're focused on the principle of Relational Accountability within our work.
This means moving beyond simply acknowledging past wrongs; it's about building genuine, ongoing relationships with Indigenous people and communities, and being responsible to those relationships. It requires us to be accountable to Indigenous Peoples, ensuring their voices, preferences and needs guide our actions, and that we are responsive to feedback on our work and actions and we report back in a transparent and accountable way.
We are also honoured to share that in 2024, Siem Te'ta-in, Sound of Thunder, HDOL, Coast Salish Knowledge Keeper, Honorary Doctorate of Original Laws, gifted BCCNM with a basket filled with traditional slaxin (medicine) and meaningful objects to help support the work of the college. We have published a new section on our website that showcases a series of short videos, featuring Siem Te’ta-in, offering deeper insights into the artistry of the basket and the significance of the Indigenous medicines contained within it.
