Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre
The Battlefords Indian Health Centre Inc. is the first Indian-controlled health center in Canada, established in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, following over 15 years of discussions and negotiations by Indigenous leaders to improve health services for the Indian community. The center aims to deliver comprehensive health services as a matter of Indian rights under Treaty Number 6 and the Indian Act, ensuring that these services are accessible and culturally appropriate.
Governed by a Board of Directors representing local Indigenous bands, the center focuses on augmenting primary health care services, providing alternative choices for medical care, and involving the community in health program administration. Additionally, it seeks to enhance self-reliance and self-esteem among Indigenous people through training opportunities and fostering collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in health service delivery.
