Canada\u2019s traditional and complementary health systems are deeply tied to the ancestral knowledge of First Nations, Inuit and M\u00e9tis communities, who keep rich healing traditions involving land-based medicine, sweat lodges, smudging, storytelling and spiritual guidance. In parallel, complementary practices such as naturopathy, acupuncture and homeopathy are widely used across the broader population.<\/span><\/p>\n

While health care delivery is governed at the provincial and territorial level, Canada\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and later federal initiatives have affirmed the right of Indigenous peoples to practise and access traditional healing. Indigenous healing is supported in some hospitals and community health centres, particularly in northern and remote regions.<\/span><\/p>\n","slide_images":[{"ID":420,"id":420,"title":"default","filename":"default.jpg","filesize":697411,"url":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/americas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/default.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/americas\/countries\/antigua-and-barbuda\/default\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"default","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":416,"date":"2025-05-19
