The Unforgotten Toolkit: An education guide to learn about, reflect on and dismantle anti-indigenous racism in health care

The Unforgotten is a film exploring the health and wellness experiences  of Inuit, Métis and First Nations peoples across the five stages of life:  birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and elderhood.  Featuring stories told with visuals, poetry and music, the film uncovers instances of systemic racism, the impacts of colonialism and the  ongoing trauma experienced by Indigenous peoples in the Canadian  health care system. It features the stories of Inuit, Métis and First Nations peoples who have been forcibly sterilized, abused in hospital, forced from their homes and land, and left dying in emergency department waiting rooms.   At its core, this project stems from the hope that we can raise awareness about the inequities Indigenous peoples face, inspire compassion and  drive conversations to close the health gap between Indigenous and  non-Indigenous communities. This toolkit was created to build background knowledge, reflect on  anti-Indigenous racism in health care and plan actions to dismantle it.
