MISTIK WASKIHK CONSULTING AND
TRAINING
Our mission is to improve the lives of Aboriginal youth and
their families through traditional culture. Cultural affirmation
creates a sense of identity, belonging, and anchors a bridge to
mainstream Canadian culture. The Sacred Teachings of the Medicine
Wheel promote self reflection, awareness, World view and a Way of
Life journey, for Humanity. Mistik Waskihk means
"Drum" and
embraces a cultural foundation with emotional, spiritual, mental
and physical well-being. We provide consulting and training to
build Aboriginal-focused culturally-sensitive programs and provide
ongoing support to ensure their continued success.
Your Medicine Wheel
"Indian music nurtures and sustains
the soil of the Human Spirit"
- Chief Dan George
The Medicine Wheel is a circle divided
into four directions with four colours; white, yellow, red, and

Aboriginal world view that fosters understanding and balance.

Waskihk Consulting and Training
Robin & Marie McLeod
Over the past six years, we have had the
honour and the privilege to offer a Culturally sensitive and aware
group-care service option to both the Child and Family
Services Authorities (CFSA) and Delegated First Nation Agencies
(DFNA) from across the province of Alberta.
As we announce our retirement from the
front line of group care, we would like thank those who have used
our program and announce that Mistik Waskihk Cultural Healing Inc.
is available for consultation to those who have an interest and
desire to open an Aboriginal-focused, culturally sensitive
program.
With our knowledge and experience comes
credibility that Mistik Waskihk Cultural Healing Inc. is able to
assist those who are seriously contemplating, able, and willing to
open a program that can serve the dynamic needs of children in care
through such traditional teachings as the Medicine
Wheel.
As the focus of programming is on
measurable outcomes, Mistik Waskihk Cultural Healing Inc. can
assist in a wide range of topics, programs, and tools such
as:
• determining a proper location for the
program;
• obtaining necessary levels of approval
and accreditation (i.e. community/provincial/national);
• developing daily operations;
and
• facilitating the program's successful
opening.
Mistik Waskihk Cultural Healing Inc. is
also available to provide any ongoing training/workshops that will
assist in quality service delivery.
