Adsum for Women & Children operates in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. Adsum provides a range of shelter and housing support services in and near Kjipuktuk. We recognize that colonization has jeopardized Indigenous Peoples’ history and connection to this land. We are committed to demonstrating practices within our organization that are rooted in reconciliation and decolonization.

At Adsum, we understand that we are all treaty people. Adsum recognizes that acknowledgment is meaningless without action. We aim to keep our commitment to reconciliation in all our approaches, and strive to reflect, ask questions, and seek guidance and direction from our relationships with Mi’kmaw knowledge keepers. We acknowledge the overrepresentation of Indigenous Peoples within the unhoused population. We are committed to hiring and retaining Indigenous staff, to trauma-informed practices that recognize the impact of the generational trauma suffered by many Indigenous women, Two-Spirit people, and families that seek our services, to educating our staff and seeking professional development opportunities whenever possible, and to working in partnerships with Mi’kmaw service providers.
