The participants within the research study discussed the importance of relationships First Nations peoples have with family members and their community as well as to the land and water. The need for supportive services that incorporate family and community, as well as land and water based healing practices are integral in ensuring the psychosocial needs of First Nations cancer patients are being addressed in a culturally relevant and safe fashion and that these services are significant for the patient, family, and community.
