Improving the health of Saskatchewan First Nations and Métis people, and sharing success stories was the focus of the "Sharing of Wisdom Keepers: Translating the Aboriginal Health Transition Fund (AHTF) Experience" conference held in Saskatoon on June 9th and 10th, 2010. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health and Health Canada, First Nations and Inuit Health - Saskatchewan Region co-hosted the event. The Aboriginal Health Transition Fund (AHTF) comprises three distinct funding envelopes:

The Adaptation Envelope supports provincial and territorial governments in the adaptation of provincial and territorial health systems to better meet the unique needs of Aboriginal peoples, taking into account that Aboriginal peoples have different cultures;

The Integration Envelope supports the integration of provincial/territorial health systems with the federally funded systems in place for First Nations communities and for the Inuit; and

The Pan-Canadian Envelope supports cross-jurisdictional integration and adaptation initiatives for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, provides capacity-building funding to national Aboriginal organizations, and supports workshops, evaluation activities and the overall administration of the AHTF.

The conference was attended by 23 projects representing each envelope.

Below are the presentations that were disseminated in two ways, panel presentations and sharing circles:
