A qualitative study of experiences at women's healing lodges / Laura Hanby, Rissa Reist, Angela Smeth, Sarah Cram & Dena Derkzen.: PS83-3/470E-PDF
"Healing Lodges are environments that use Indigenous values, traditions, and beliefs to offer culturally-appropriate services and programs for Indigenous offenders. The goal of the current research study was to qualitatively examine the impacts, interventions, and overall operations at women's Healing Lodges, whether operated by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) or an Indigenous community or partner organization through an agreement under Section 81 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. To capture a holistic and comprehensive understanding of these experiences, the study entailed site visits and semi-structured individual interviews with residents, Elders/Spiritual Advisors, and staff from the only CSC-operated Healing Lodge for women (Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge in Saskatchewan) and the two Section 81 facilities for women (Buffalo Sage Wellness House in Alberta and Eagle Women's Lodge in Manitoba). In total, interview data was collected and thematically analyzed for 30 residents, 26 staff members, and three Elders/Spiritual Advisors"---Executive summary, page iii.
