Check out this report from the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC) on understanding prosperity from the perspectives of urban Indigenous Friendship Centre communities in Ontario.
“This study contributed to a conceptual shift from “poverty reduction” to “Prosperity” in the context of urban Indigenous communities…Friendship Centre communities tell us that being prosperous isn’t only about having food, water, shelter or money. To be prosperous, they say, people need nutritious food, clean water, but also a connection to culture and the land.”
