Ontario commits $1M to Chippewas of the Thames for mental health & addictions support

Ontario announced $1 million in funding for mental health and addictions supports to Chippewas of the Thames First Nation Thursday with the long-term goal of building two new treatment facilities for the area’s three Indigenous communities to use.

The move is part of larger efforts to address rising rates of illegal drugs and human trafficking through the development of a community wellness and mental health strategy.

“We all know that there are huge gaps in accessing those types of services from detox to treatment,” said chief Jacqueline French.

“We can’t continue down this road at this rate or we’ll lose generations,” French said, noting there have been multiple overdoses in the community and “huge” waiting lists for addictions treatment.

“It’s just next to impossible to access those services outside of our community,” she said. “There is definitely a need for more because of the increase of what we’re seeing happening in our community.”

‘We can’t fix this problem by ourselves’

MPP Michael Tibollo, Ontario’s associate minister of mental health and addictions, came to the First Nation for the announcement.

“When it comes to finding an effective mental health care system for Indigenous peoples, there are far too many barriers to access and culturally safe options are few for people from Indigenous communities, and this is something that we must change,” said Tibollo.

Bartlesville Radio » News » Delaware Tribe Honors MMIW, MMIP

A somber ceremony was held Friday afternoon at the Delaware Tribal Complex to remember and honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP).

 

About 40 people attended the event, wearing red — some with a red handprint painted over their mouths — a symbol to remember Native American voices who have been silenced.

 

 

Just before an honor walk around the pond, some who gathered held pictures of missing or murdered relatives and friends. They told the crowd about  their honored person, with many tears shed.

 

The Delaware Tribe offers several resources for families that experience domestic violence, including protection order services that the tribe will offer to anyone — Native and Non-Native included.

 

Below is a photo gallery from Friday’s event.

Housatonic River

Housatonic River is a 149-mile-long river that flows from the southern to southeastern direction through the western parts of the US States of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Originating from the Berkshire Mountains close to the city of Pittsfield in Massachusetts, the Housatonic River finally drains into the Long Island Sound between the cities of Stratford and Milford in Connecticut. The name “Housatonic” has been derived from the native Mohican phrase “usi-a-di-en-uk,” which means “beyond the mountain place.” Besides being used for whitewater paddling and fly fishing, the waters of the Housatonic River have been harnessed over the years to generate hydroelectric power for the textiles, paper, and iron industries.  

Course Of The Housatonic River

Housatonic River rapids and rocks at Gaylordsville, ConnecticutHousatonic River at Gaylordsville, Connecticut.

The Housatonic River begins its journey in far southwestern Massachusetts, where the mainstream is formed by the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Housatonic River close to the city of Pittsfield. The 17-mile-long East Branch of the Housatonic River, which rises at Muddy Pond, drops about 480 ft before meeting with the West Branch of the Housatonic River. The 5-mile-long West Branch also drops about 140 ft before it meets the East Branch. The joining of the East and West Branches forms the headwaters of the Housatonic River. The river then flows in a southerly direction through the Berkshire Mountains into western Connecticut.

In Connecticut, five dams, including the Derby Dam, Bulls Bridge, Falls Village, Shepaug Dam, and Stevenson Dam Hydroelectric Plant, impound the Housatonic River. Of these dams, the Derby, Shepaug, and Stevenson Dams form many lakes, such as Lake Housatonic, Lake Lillinonah, and Lake Zoar. Immediately south of the Bulls Bridge power station, waters of the Housatonic River…

Trio of London area First Nations receives $1M in addiction treatment funding

A $1 million boost from the Ontario government will go a long way in tackling the mental health and addiction crisis facing three First Nations communities, local Indigenous leaders say.

Jacqueline French, chief of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, said the funding announced Thursday marks a milestone contribution to support members of the communities on their road to healing and recovery.

“It’s huge,” French said.

“It’s a significant move that we are making together, as three First Nations,” she said, stressing the importance of collaboration between her community, Oneida Nation of the Thames and Munsee-Delaware Nation.

The money will support the development of a new community wellness strategy and external partnerships to address mental health and addiction. It also signals the beginning of a long-term plan to construct two buildings on First Nations territory that would house services for harm reduction, medical support and outpatient care, French said.

“We have a crisis team, as well as a cultural outreach team (and) harm reduction, so the facilities that are coming in will really address … that need in the community around mental health and addictions.”

One of the biggest challenges facing on-reserve members is a lack of available services. Typically, when residents are ready to seek support, they must commute to London or nearby towns, French said.

“There are huge gaps in accessing those types of services, from detox to treatment, (and) there are huge waiting lists,” she said, adding many cannot afford to pay for private programs.

French was one of the leaders to secure the funding from the Ontario government. Thursday, she joined chiefs Todd Cornelius of Oneida Nation of the Thames and Roger Thomas of Munsee-Delaware Nation in signing a joint declaration on the fight against illegal drugs and human trafficking in their communities.

The declaration, read by Liz Antone, stated the chiefs will take action…
