Your body. Your rights.

Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) is more than a healthcare principle - it's a human right recognized in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Every person has the right to make informed decisions about their own body, free from pressure, coercion or discrimination.

For many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, these rights have not always been respected. Understanding your rights is an important step toward advancing culturally safe, equitable healthcare.

Swipe through to learn what FPIC means, why it matters and where to find support if your rights have been violated.

Stay tuned for the continuation of this series on Free, Prior, and Informed Consent, where we discuss “How to Know When Support is Needed”

ZKA’AN NI-BMIWDOOWIN GCHI-KINOOMAADWINAN, Building the Fire, Walking with Medicine is a one-week program for Indigenous students in grades 9 and 10 with an interest in exploring healthcare opportunities. This program is run collaboratively with the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Access and Outreach (OAO) and the Office of Indigenous Health, ZKA’AN NI-BMIWDOOWIN GCHI-KINOOMAADWINAN, and will provide 10 youth with culturally safe and trauma-informed programming with opportunities to build long-lasting relationships from within the program. With greater exposure to Indigenous leadership, knowledges, governance systems and healing practices, participants were encouraged to reflect on the environment around them and were empowered to carve their own meaningful paths forward, walking with confidence, a greater sense of connection, purpose, and community.

This summer, ZNGBK programming will be held in August 2026, in person at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. The program aims to nurture each student’s understanding of Health and Wellness including what it means with regards to self, family, community, and nationhood. 10 participants interested in exploring or pursuing a career in health, research and sciences and identify as First Nations, Inuit, Metis, as well as being currently in grades 9 and 10, will be chosen through an application process.
