Healing indicators

 Indicator frameworks tend to create disconnects between environment, health and community issues. Integrative responses developed by ECHO include: 

·      Healing indicators, which are co-designed using decolonial ‘two-eyed seeing’: with one eye informed by Indigenous ways of knowing and the other by western science. Diverse funding partnerships have been harnessed to progress ongoing Healing Indicators work, in conjunction with the First Nations Health Authority, and informed by the First Nations Population Health and Wellness Agenda, as well as related ecological indicator work (Stelkia et al 2021).

·      A “Health in the Watershed” Atlas, developed with the Battle River Watershed Alliance (for 2022 release) is an integrative framework for watershed level indicators with implications for future ‘State of the Watershed’ reporting.
