A PRACTICE OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY CARE

Blackbird Medicines is a sole proprietorship that functions like a community collective. Each request for support or service is distributed among several First Nations Counsellors, Culture Carriers and Knowledge Keepers. 
Blackbird Medicines utilizes community references and genealogy to ensure, confirm and promise ALL of our caregivers are Indigenous.
