Jack Manidokaa Bradley’s journey from his early years as a Lambton Kent District School Board student to his current work with Atlohsa Family Healing Services is a testament to his commitment to both his Anishinaabe heritage and his desire to make a meaningful difference in his community. A graduate of John McGregor Secondary School, Jack’s path has a strong academic and professional trajectory that has already made an impact on Indigenous communities.

Currently, Jack works with Atlohsa Family Healing Services as part of the Giwetashkad Indigenous Homelessness Strategic Plan, an initiative grounded in community-driven, Indigenous-led, and culture-based engagement. The plan addresses the critical issue of Indigenous homelessness in London, Ontario, where Indigenous people, though only 2.6% of the city’s population, make up 30% of its homeless population. The Giwetashkad Plan is unique in its focus on Indigenous experiences of homelessness and its emphasis on local knowledge, harm reduction, and cultural practices. Jack works to support this transformative approach, which aims to confront Indigenous homelessness through actionable change rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and leadership.
