In late April, we cross the muddy roads to Weenebayko Hospital, Moose Factory. ‘We’ are the medical students who travel by airplane to this remote First Nation reserve. This acrylic painting is a reflection of the two types of health care provided to the community: the Dreamcatcher in the sky and the hospital in the background as symbols of Indigenous and Western medicine respectively. As Canada’s northern communities experience barriers to health distribution, the promise of complementing Western medicine and local indigenous healing methods could not only save lives but also harmonize these two valuable practices.
