Description

The miyo resource discusses foundational beliefs and approaches of Indigenous peoples to promote well-being and resiliency and outlines an evaluative process that honours an Indigenous worldview. This resource supports provincial implementation of the Well-Being and Resiliency Framework by outlining an evaluative framework that recognizes culturally-based practice and assesses program effectiveness and the achievement of outcomes in a meaningful way. The miyo resource was developed recognizing that western-based evaluation practices are generally not effective when working with Indigenous communities. It includes a model for service delivery and outcome and performance measurement that accurately and culturally assesses the impact and value of culturally designed services provided by and for Indigenous client populations.

The Aboriginal Policy Framework sets out the basic structure for existing and new Government of Alberta policies to address First Nation, Métis and other Aboriginal issues in Alberta. The Framework's two goals address improving socio-economic opportunities for Aboriginal peoples and communities and clarifying roles and responsibilities of federal, provincial and Aboriginal governments and communities. For each goal, the Framework lays out principles and commitments to action and calls for Government of Alberta Ministries to address Aboriginal issues in their business plans and report progress in their annual reports. The Framework addresses the treaty and constitutional rights of Aboriginal people and all Albertans with respect to the use of public lands.
