Abstract

I Resume Through examining two Aboriginal-specific health promotion programs for women, this paper discusses how the Niagara Regional Native Center operates as a therapeutic landscape, given its role as a place for health. The two programs ofinterest are the Aboriginal Prenatal Nutrition Program, which targets low-income, at risk, pregnant Aboriginal women and teenag ers, and the Silver Foxes Partners in Aging Program, which provides an Aboriginal appropriate support and healing circle for Aboriginal seniorsl Elders. The research points to the importance of culturally appropriate programming, where traditional health care practices are taught in combi nation with Western medicine.
