ABOUT CCAIHG

The Centre for Collaborative Action on Indigenous Health Governance (CCAIHG) is an Indigenous-led research centre that paves a transformative path for Indigenous people, communities, Nations, scholars to learn from and share their experiences on Indigenous health governance. With a shared governance model that reflects the partnership of Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), the CCAIHG fosters global dialogue on Indigenous approaches to health and wellness. The key goals of the Centre focus on dialogue and knowledge exchange, collaborative training initiatives, and research.
