Endacho Healing Lodge

pre-construction

The new, energy efficient and eco-sensitive Endacho Healing Lodge will be built as a place of harmony with the land and water. In this place, Indigenous people who have suffered trauma can heal by connecting with their culture and the land through a combination of traditional and western healing methods. Taking an holistic approach to healing means connecting mind, body, spirit and emotion together with the land they inhabit. Indigenous culture is at the heart of the Lodge and connection to the land is fundamental to healing. Set beside Grace Lake on edge of the City of Yellowknife, the Lodge is designed to integrate into the natural contours of the land, incorporating energy efficiency technology proven effective and sustainable in the northern environment. The NWT Trauma Healing Lodge will serve Indigenous Canadians, and is in direct support of TRC Call to Action #21 in addressing the harms wrought by residential schools.
