Introduction: Growing calls to recognize racism as a determinant of health underscores the need for evidence-based tools addressing Indigenous-specific racism in health services, particularly within public health. Indigenous resistance to genocide and assimilation in Canada has led to the current era of truth and reconciliation. Since 2015, a series of national and regional commissions and inquiries have led to the adoption of the UN Declaration …
Unlearning clubs
The Unlearning Club has emerged as a pivotal strategy for fostering environments of cultural safety, anti-racism, and trustworthiness within our public health office. Sustained engagement in anti-racist education, supported by strong leadership and an inclusive structure, can significantly reduce resistance to anti-racism initiatives
Using a metaphor of baskets and copper pots to identify “what work, whose work” in truth, rights, responsibilities, and reconciliation in public health
Ten years since the Truth & Reconciliation Commission Report, Canadian institutions-including public health systems-have yet to advance the Calls to Action in a sustained, transformative way. As public health leaders in the territory now known as British Columbia, we witness tension as colleagues grapple with, "What is the work of Truth & Reconciliation? Whose work is it?". Too often, truth and reconciliation is delegated to a small Indigenous te…
The Cedar Project
Racism continues to drive health disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. This study focuses on racism experienced by young Indigenous people who have used drugs in British Columbia (BC), and predictors of interpersonal racism. Cedar Project is a community-governed cohort study involving young Indigenous people who use drugs in Vancouver and Prince George, BC. This cross-sectional study included data collected between …
Supportive housing building policies and resident psychological needs
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) increases housing stability and improves health outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV) at risk of homelessness. We conducted 24 semi-structured qualitative interviews with PLHIV at risk of homelessness living in a PSH building in Vancouver, Canada, with the aim of understanding how PSH building policies impact residents’ health. Interviews were analyzed using self-determination theory and Housing First pr…
Cango Lyec (Healing the Elephant)
Cango Lyec participants displayed lower than previously reported yet significant levels of probable PTSD and depression. Based on findings from this study, providing trauma-informed care, ensuring food and housing security, eliminating gender-based violence, and reintegrating former abductees remain important tasks to facilitate post-conflict rehabilitation in Northern Uganda
Cedar Project
The Cedar Project is an interdisciplinary, community-driven research project responding to the crises of HIV and Hepatitis C infection and contributing to the healing of young Indigenous people who use or have used drugs. We are a collective membership of Indigenous Elders, health/social service experts, researchers, and non-Indigenous allies. We situate our work in the context of strength, resilience, and rights to self-determination for Indigen…

The "Sticky Notes" Method
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has a long history within HIV research, yet little work has focused on facilitating team-based data analysis within CBPR. Our team adapted Thorne's interpretive description (ID) for CBPR analysis, using a color-coded "sticky notes" system to conduct data fragmentation and synthesis. Sticky notes were used to record, visualize, and communicate emerging insights over the course of 11 in-person participa…
Creating a Future of Our Own Design
Training and recruitment of First Nations and Indigenous health professionals is part of reconciliation, addressing health disparities and embedding cultural safety and humility into the health ecosystem of the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada. Calls to develop the First Nations and Indigenous health workforce are articulated within the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Call to Action 23, BC’s Transformative Change Accord: …
Another thing to live for”
There are several pragmatic ways to integrate Truth and Reconciliation as well as Indigenous concepts of whole-person wellness into the HCV cascade of care. By doing so, HCV treatment providers have an opportunity to create greater equity and support long-term wellness of Indigenous patients
The Cedar Project
Culturally safe mental wellness interventions are urgently needed to address childhood trauma and harmful coping strategies that exacerbate distress among young Indigenous people who use drugs
The Cedar Project
Young people in this study have faced multiple complex challenges to their strength. However, cultural foundations continue to function as buffers that protect young Indigenous people from severe health outcomes, including vulnerability to HIV and HCV infection
