Equity for All
Atmos Indigenous is deeply committed to the equality and equity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples, youth, children, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ community members in what is now known as Canada, and globally.
As an Indigenous organization and as Indigenous Peoples, we take our responsibilities for addressing systemic disparities and historical traumas seriously.
We acknowledge and celebrate the differences of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples, and recognize that there are those among us who have had their ability to identify with their own Peoples, lands and waters stolen from them through the legacy and ongoing practices of colonialism. We choose to embrace the principles and spirit of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in upholding the rights of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples.
We are committed to advancing policies and practices that prioritize the health and well-being of all community members, and to centering their voices and experiences in decision-making processes.
Collectively, we work towards a future where all individuals can receive the support they need to thrive with dignity and respect.
