IERHA Indigenous Health with the Obstetrics Unit have developed the Elder-in-Residence program to ensure Indigenous perspectives, knowledge and approaches are returned to the birthing process. This position supports a proactive holistic approach to health and wellness and is committed to the delivery of prenatal, postnatal, and birthing services which are sustainable and honour the customs and traditions of First Nations and other Indigenous peoples.

The Elder in Residence provides: early pre-natal connection and relationship with the Selkirk Regional Health Centre (SRHC) while still in community, access to Indigenous birthing practices and ways of knowing during labour and delivery at SRHC, early post-natal services connections with community health team prior to discharge from SRHC and increase general community awareness of SRHC family birthing unit team and services.

Elders' life experience, historical perspective, spiritual knowledge, and cultural connections make them a valuable member of the care team.

**Elders and Knowledge Keepers**

Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers play a central role in Indigenous communities; they are teachers within and beyond their communities.

Elders, Knowledge Keepers and Cultural Advisors are not self-taught individuals. They have been gifted with their respective teachings by other Elders or Knowledge Keepers, typically over years of mentorship and teaching.

These teachings are held as sacred knowledge and vary from each respective knowledge source. Ideally, permission has been given for individuals to share what their learned and acquired knowledge permits. Once the Keepers are felt to have learned and understood the knowledge and have made it a part of their own lives, it is accepted that they can now deliver these learnings and teachings to others.

**Elder**: The term "Elder" is bestowed to an individual, by their community because of the spiritual and cultural knowledge that they hold. The term does not refer to one’s age, but rather the level of cultural and traditional knowledge they hold.

**Knowledge Keeper**: The term "Knowledge Keeper" or "Traditional Knowledge Keeper" refers to someone who has been taught by an Elder or a senior Knowledge Keeper within their community. This person holds traditional knowledge and teachings, they have been taught how to care for these teachings and when it is and is not appropriate to share this knowledge with others.

The position of Elder in Residence / Knowledge Keeper functions in a manner consistent with, and supports the mission, vision and values of the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority.
