Indigenous End of Life Symposium

Indigenous End of Life Symposium – March 21st, 2024 – The Completed Life Initiative

The Indigenous End of Life Symposium aims to elevate and amplify Indigenous and Aboriginal end-of-life experiences from around the world.

Indigenous and Aboriginal communities are as diverse as they are numerous. This Symposium offers a platform for individual speakers from these communities to offer direct narratives about traditional dying ritual practices.

Our speakers will also reflect on how we can ensure that Indigenous communities, nations, and territories worldwide receive the recognition they deserve, especially in crucial areas like end-of-life healthcare. Additionally, they will share the challenges and opportunities they face as they interact with health systems and key elders and advisors in their communities.

Join us for a day of virtual Talking and Listening events, featuring Indigenous and Aboriginal individuals from Canada to South America, the United States to Australia.
