Abstract

The objectives of this project are to gather accurate information to characterize the ways in which: • First Nations youth at risk of or with lived experience of homelessness have been impacted by and are negotiating challenges associated with the pandemic, including access to supports, services and resources that help stabilize housing trajectories; and • Indigenous land-based and cultural educators and practitioners have adapted their practices to ensure that First Nations youth and other community members can continue to access critical land-based learning and cultural supports, and maintain their individual and collective well-being.
