February 2008 - A dramatic total eclipse of the moon cast a red shadow across the city of Ottawa as leaders and representatives from national Aboriginal organizations across the country gathered together in Feburary 2008 for an historic meeting. Although they came from the Aboriginal sports, housing and education sectors, or from tourism, economic development and academia, together they explored for the first time how their work intersects in the health and well-being of all Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Guest speakers included the Honourable Moniqe Begin, Canadian Commissioner to the World Health Organization's Commission on Social Determinants of Health, and Dr. David Butler-Jones, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. Here too are the voices of youth, so many of whom spoke of the possibilities for change from positions of power and strength.
