The association organizes programs and events to educate and promote health to the First Nation communities in order to to improve their lifestyles and overall well being, so their group could thrive and develop. The Lhtako Dene community hosted an event in their community hall as part of their Winter Wellness Grants in Quesnel. The event was organized in order to instill and ensure that health and wellness were prioritized in the community member’s lives. The Lktako Nation attempted to achieve this by combining educational wellness activities with access to health checkups and screening services. The event included various events such as Hoop dancing Performers, medicine bag making, Elder storytelling, and a community feast in order to ensure that the activities would please and cater members of all members of the community from the youth to the elders. There were health screening tests such as blood pressure testing, glucose testing, and diabetes information from a professional nutritionist alongside their nation’s traditional cultural practices. The event combined traditional cultural practices with modern wellness rituals. It allowed the youth and Elders to work together, educating one another, and as a result progressing their community. The organizers’ challenge was attempting to conduct the event in such a small town hall and fit all the activities and community members. The Lhtako Dene Nation demonstrated that wellness is a community event to be embraced and can be fun when they all work together.

Accessed 12 May 2022.: The journal article by ELizabteh Furniss discusses the challenges that First Nations have encountered as a result of the unresolved dispossession of indigenous land. The country’s history legitimizes colonialism, underplaying its cruelty and rebranding it as a form of discovery, progression, and development and uses these interpretations in the formation of their country’s ideals and nationalism. These westernized, imperialist ideals are incorporated into the nation’s arguments of their entitlement to reap resource profits from Native land and to relocate First Nation people and establish dominance in community land.
