The road to ensuring that health care is culturally safe and accessible for Indigenous people is long. While the good work and efforts of many individuals continue, contemporary examples of unsafe care still occur at an unacceptable frequency. Come join us in circle as we discuss the state of cultural safety work in acute care settings, and how are we addressing undeniable barriers for Indigenous people when accessing this care? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, how can we all move forward in a way that increases safety for Indigenous people in these spaces now, and safeguards that safety for the generations to come.
