About the Program

“Giwetashkad” is an Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe language) word and concept that can roughly be translated to “circle” or as an action of moving in a circular fashion or as “coming back around”. As the root word “giiwe” means “home,” and is also the root of the word “giiwedinong” or the Northern direction – where the spirits go home – “Giwetashkad” is a term that evokes movement through the cycles of life, rebirth, and renewal.

Initiated in 2017, the Giwetashkad division represents a comprehensive Indigenous homelessness strategy to address the alarming rates of homelessness among Indigenous peoples in London. This initiative is rooted in local knowledge and history, promoting themes of home, rebirth, and renewal. Over the years, Giwetashkad has transformed into a suite of Indigenous-led programs and services that utilize cultural knowledge to combat the ongoing impacts of colonization and support truth and reconciliation efforts. Ultimately, Giwetashkad serves as a foundational model for the ongoing efforts to "bring people home" and alleviate Indigenous homelessness by reconnecting individuals to their cultural and spiritual identities

Role and Responsibility

Using a wholistic Indigenous-led approach to principles of Harm Reduction and trauma-informed care, the Cultural Coordinator is responsible for working with Giwetashkad program staff (including Wiigiwaaminaan hub, Housing Support Program and Outreach, supportive housing, and Giiwiitaabiwag community education) to provide mentorship towards implementing Indigenous land-based cultural interventions in their programs. In alignment with the Strategic Directions of the Giwetaskhad Plan, the Cultural Coordinator supports housing and homelessness program service delivery that centers Indigenous peoples’ healing from the effects of intergenerational trauma. The Cultural Coordinator works as part of the Giwetashkad leadership team to provide community education and advocacy. The Cultural Coordinator must have excellent communication and collaboration skills and a grounded Indigenous identity and/or strong connection to an Indigenous community. The Cultural Coordinator will work closely with the Giwetashkad team on supportive services for community members, including case management with other staff to best support relatives accessing Atlohsa Family Healing Services.

Suitability

• Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the languages, traditional ways, history and cultures of the Indigenous population in the London region
• Strong analysis of colonialism and the ways in which historical and ongoing colonization impacts Indigenous peoples intergenerationally
• Educational, work or community experience delivering land-based programming to Indigenous people
• Experience working with Indigenous women and children who have been exposed to violence/abuse and with Indigenous people experiencing homelessness
• Leadership experience and demonstrated ability to provide training support and supervision
• Demonstrated strengths in interpersonal relations, problem-solving, crisis intervention, group dynamics, community development and other innovative approaches
• Understanding of cultural safety and an awareness of its impact on practice
• Ability to work in outdoor locations and do minor physical labour such as gathering poles and building lodge
• Skills in conflict resolution, mediation, and negotiation (to build trust and resolve disagreements)
• Excellent organizational and coordination skills and the ability to prioritize multiple competing workload demands
• Effective communication (both written and verbal) and interpersonal skills with the ability to interact with others in a respectful manner as defined in the Atlohsa Code of Conduct
