These barriers do not allow for the attainment of housing security, food security, positive health outcomes, addictions support, and access to employment opportunities. The Fire Pit is founded on the experience and research that if we can assist Indigenous people to connect with their culture, it lays the foundation for people to move out of cycles of homelessness, addictions and poverty as a positive cultural identity encourages self-sufficiency and can result in improved health status.
