Waskaganish, a Cree community in northern Quebec, is strengthening its well‑being through land‑based healing, cultural revitalization, and community‑led mental health support. Three leaders — Jamie, David, and Glenn — share their personal journeys through trauma, addiction, and recovery, using their experiences to guide others. Through traditional medicine, youth land programs, and the joyful “Cooking with Mom” livestream, the community is reconnecting with culture, breaking silence around pain, and building a future rooted in healing, humour, and shared purpose.
