Indigenous Health Network

The Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB) Indigenous Health Network (IHN) is made up of Indigenous health and social service providers across Hamilton, Niagara, Haldimand, Norfolk, Brant, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Six Nations of the Grand River. Together with Ontario Health, the IHN seeks to address the health needs and issues of local Indigenous communities. We invite you to join us in our mission to build networks and connections that advance the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples and communities around the world.

The Two Row Wampum Treaty, also known as Guswenta or Kaswentha

As Indigenous communities grieve the losses of all those innocent and helpless children and babies who did not make it home, we take this time to mourn our losses and pray for peace for our babies, our families and our Nations. We know this is just the beginning and more children will be found as more grounds of residential schools are examined.
