Lakehead University's Tikkun Indigenous Youth Project in northern Ontario/ Canada was a collaborative Indigenous youth leadership, community engagement, and well-being project that was designed to support Indigenous students who have to leave their northern home communities to pursue secondary schooling in Thunder Bay-a challenging, difficult, and risky journey for many. Through our collaborative research with high schools, youth role-models, and educators, we were able to provide the conditions whereby Indigenous youth gained opportunities to meet and gain strength with their Indigenous peers in culturally-focused activities, share stories in a holistic circle, and develop leadership skills while engaging in well-being practices and self-determining needs and actions.
