Indigenous Ways of Knowing
One Child Every Child | Accelerator
Oki, Amba'watetch, Danit'ada, Tansi, Tawnshi, Bonjour, Hello OCEC Relatives.
The Indigenous Accelerator is one of six cross-cutting accelerators within One Child Every Child (OCEC), a national research initiative dedicated to improving child health and well-being across Canada.
The Indigenous Accelerator team is working to educate, connect, support, and advance systemic change for the health and well-being of all children on these lands that we now call Canada. The Indigenous Accelerator is guided by Indigenous values and principles—including relationality, reciprocity, respect, and interconnectedness—because we believe these ways lead us to thriving children. *Kirkness, Verna J., and Ray Barnhardt.
