Hello. My name is Nakuset. I'm the executive director of the Native Women's Shelter.
I just wanted to tell you a little bit about what the shelter is and what we are seeing at the shelter.
The Native Women's Shelter was established in 1987, and it's the only shelter in Montreal exclusively serving first nations, Inuit, and Métis women and children. We have placed a strong emphasis on healing from the effects of intergenerational trauma that resulted from the residential school system. Our approach is culturally based and holistic in nature, offering traditional and spiritual services not available through other shelters in the area.
