Richard (Animkii-Ankwad) is Anishnaabe from Wikwemikong First Nation on
Manitoulin Island. He currently lives in the city of North Bay. Richard is
actively involved in the preservation of his culture and traditions and is a
fluent Anishnaabemwin (Ojibwa) speaker. He has worked with Aboriginal
people struggling with the justice system and has worked inside Community
Corrections facilities. Richard had endured many difficult life situations and he
openly shares these experiences, his acquired knowledge and his wisdom
through his personal story of spiritual development. Although Richard is
familiar with many modalities of Traditional Healing, he is most often called
upon to create sacred space and facilitate spiritual ceremony, communicating
with our ancestors, and assisting people to find their original connections to
creation.
One to one visits
our visiting Traditional Healers/Elders are required to have a Shkaabewis – a Helper –
present at all times. Our Shkaabewis will assist you and the Traditional Healers with
all aspects of your visit, including note taking to help you remember your conversa-
tion. You might feel a bit nervous about approaching a Traditional Healer during your
first visit; this is normal and natural. Our Traditional Healers will do everything they
can to try and put your mind at ease so you can be relaxed and comfortable as possi-
ble.

Attention: Members of Aamjiwnaang

Re: National Non-Insured Health Benefits Review
Your Voice Matters!
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN), working in
partnership with Health Canada – First Nations Inuit
Health Branch (FNIHB) is undertaking a review of
the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program
across nine regions, and would like to request partic-
ipation of community members in the review. The
national review will be conducted on six benefit are-
as:
Medical Transportation (also known as Patient
Travel)
Dental
Vision
Pharmacy
Medical Supplies & Equipment.
Short Term Crisis Mental Health Benefits.
Kāhui Tautoko Consulting Ltd (KTCL) has been
contracted by the AFN to undertake this review.
KTCL is a consultancy based in Vancouver, BC,
specializing in First Nations health and community
development projects and has undertaken NIHB re-
views previously.
The objectives of this review are to:
Determine what processes are used to access
these benefits and how effective these processes/
procedures are;
What challenges or barriers there are when ac-
cessing these benefit areas including awareness
of what is available;
Is the NIHB program meeting privacy and cul-
tural needs; and,
What are the strengths and opportunities for im-
provement of the NIHB Program?
Your participation in this review is being requested!
Have you had difficulties obtaining benefits in any
of the above areas? Can you suggest improvements
in any area? Also, of note are client reimburse-
ments. Have you had difficulty obtaining a reim-
bursement for any of the above areas? Please pro-
vide your input. The more information received, the
better! I encourage you to check out the AFN Web-
site to make your voice heard at www.afn.ca under
Policy Area, Health. You will find a survey there
that you can do or, you may wish to submit a writ-
ten document of your concerns, etc.
Effective June 1, 2016, NIHB ex-
panded options for pharmacists to initiate
treatments for NIHB clients. These will
allow easier access to many eligible
products and medications. NIHB will
accept prescriptions or written recom-
mendations from pharmacists for claims
that do not require prior approval, for the
following types of benefits:
Also on the AFN Website, is a timeline of what
benefit area they are currently reviewing with a
closing date for participation. Right now they are
currently reviewing vision. If you have concerns
and/or comments to make regarding any vision
benefit, please go there now to make your voice
heard. The closing date to comment in that area is
July 15, 2016.
Please watch the AFN Website for more infor-
mation on other review areas and closing dates.
Other NIHB Updates…
PHARMACY BENEFIT INFORMATION
Change in the Listing Status of Bisphosphonates
Bisphosphonates are drugs that help strengthen
bones, and are used in the treatment and prevention
of osteoporosis and Paget disease. On March 10,
2016, oral bisphosphonate medications covered by
the NIHB Program became open benefits. Claims
for open benefits are processed automatically and
do not require prior approval.
New Treatments Initiated by
Pharmacists
CHIPPEWA TRIBE-UNE - June 30, 2016 27
Prenatal vitamins
Medications for the prevention and treatment of
nausea and vomiting in pregnancy
Emergency contraception (The ‘morning after
pill’)
Vaginal yeast infection treatments
Smoking cessation aids
Lice treatments
Allergy medications
Constipation treatments
Naloxone
This means that, you can present your Status Card to
the Pharmacist and ask for coverage of these prod-
ucts be put through the NIHB Program. There
would be no need to see your physician first to ob-
tain a prescription and you will not have to pay out
of pocket for them. Please remember though that
each province and territory has different regulations
for health care providers, so you should talk to your
local pharmacist to find out whether they can rec-
ommend or prescribe these treatments for you.
Coverage for Naloxone
Naloxone is an injectable medication that can re-
verse the effects of an overdose from opioid drugs
(e.g. heroin, morphine, fentanyl). To improve access
to this life-saving medication, NIHB has added na-
loxone as an open benefit on the Drug Benefit List.
If you or someone close to you may be at risk of an
opioid overdose, it is recommended that you have a
naloxone kit on hand, and be trained to use it. Public
health programs in some provinces and territories
now provide naloxone kits and training, so before
claiming it through NIHB, you should check with
your pharmacist to see if it is available through local
health services.
Reminder - Change in Coverage of Medications
to Treat Constipation
Docusate is a stool softener that may be prescribed
for constipation. However, recent medical studies
have found that docusate is not an effective medica-
tion to prevent or relieve constipation. Effective
September 13, 2016, docusate products will not be
covered by NIHB.
I’m taking stool softeners – now what do I do?
There are many different ways to treat constipa-
tion. Changes to your diet and how much physical
activity you are getting may help, but sometimes
medication is needed. NIHB covers many other
medications for constipation that are effective.
Some of these work by making your stool bulkier
and easier to pass. Others work by stimulating
your bowels to move. Some draw water into you
bowel making it easier to pass stools. Still others
lubricate your bowel so that stool moves more
easily through them. These medications come in
many different forms: pills, liquids, powders, sup-
positories (that are inserted into the rectum), and
enemas (fluid inserted through the rectum). NIHB
will pay for alternate treatments when prescribed
or recommended by your pharmacist, nurse practi-
tioner, physician, or other prescriber. Together
with your healthcare provider, you can choose a
treatment covered by NIHB that is right for you.
Where can I find more information?
For more information about coverage of other
medications for constipation, consult the NIHB
Drug Benefit List [www.health.gc.ca/dbl]. You
can review the evidence on stool softeners and
other treatments for constipation by visiting the
Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in
Health (CADTH) web page [www.cadth.ca/
search?keywords=stool+softeners].
Dental Benefit Information
NIHB Welcomes Dental Hygienists as Inde-
pendent Service Providers
Effective June 1st, 2016, dental hygienists are able
to submit claims to the Program as independent
service providers, within their professional scope
of practice. This applies in all regions except Que-
bec, Prince Edward Island, and the Territories,
where professional regulations do not currently
allow dental hygienists to practice independently.
NIHB welcomes dental hygienists to the Program,
and is pleased to notify clients of this change that
increases access to preventive oral health care for
First Nations and Inuit.

Hi, my name is Nick Nahmabin and I’m a post-secondary student. I’m going to be working with the Environment Department as part of the Aam-jiwnaang Summer Student program. I will be attending Lambton College in the fall and I look forward to the challenges and experiences that post-secondary education has to offer. As for what I’ll be taking in college, I plan on doing Gen-eral Arts & Science until I find a course or study that interests me. I look forward to another great summer of work and I encourage any students who may have thought about applying to do so, as you don’t want to be stuck sitting around do-ing nothing all summer. I’d also like to thank the program coordinators for allowing us as students, to have this opportunity.

SOLIDARITY DAY 2016
Solidary Day was a huge success. It started off
with Council cooking breakfast, followed by a fry
bread contest—winner was Dolly Oliver, there
was tie dying t-shirts, 3-legged races, tattoos, tug
of war and balloon toss while some just played in
the splash pad. In the evening they had a pot luck
style dinner/barbeque then live music at the ball
diamonds and ending with fireworks!
