| Abstract | Written in English and French, this report presents views of Canadian Aboriginal community members about developing healthy communities. In-depth interviews were conducted with elders, youth, parents, political leaders, victims, offenders, and government employees in five Aboriginal communities, and telephone and mail surveys were conducted in three others. Interviews and surveys examined definitions of healthy community, and approaches currently being undertaken to heal communities suffering from loss of cultural identity, alcohol and drug addiction, sexual abuse, and other forms of victimization and crime. Respondents viewed the healthy community as one in which people were involved in community functions such as education and politics, and exhibited trust and caring, positive parenting and sharing of intergenerational wisdom, open communication without blame or shame, responsibility and clear role expectations, and a sense of connectedness that promotes collective action. Healing was recognized as complex and hard to define, but key aspects included movement from within the individual to family and then to community, balanced involvement of all parts of life, and may start with a series of discrete programs and move into a holistic process. Responses also explored community readiness to heal itself, barriers to the process, recognizable steps and activities that initiate the healing process, specific ways in which the healing approach can provide an ideal community response to crime, how healing can be understood as an aspect of community development, and how non- Aboriginal government programs and processes can better respond to and support community healing.
