The report details a joint project between the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) to develop culturally specific sustainability indicators for Winnipeg's First Nations population. Using a bottom-up approach, the project engaged the community through a series of forums to identify key issues and propose measures of well-being. The framework is based on the traditional Medicine Wheel, organizing well-being into four domains: environment, economic, social, and cultural. The report identifies critical community concerns—including housing, employment, health, and cultural identity—and recommends continuing the project to develop a future vision and improving the coordination of services and communications for urban First Nations people.
