An indigenous community-led project in Nunavik
In the struggle for self-determination, Indigenous communities in Canada have been developing community-based health and social services to support family and community wellbeing. In the development of these initiatives, non-Indigenous actors, are sometimes involved. These relationships cannot be dissociated from coloniality and colonial history, yet the specific influences of external support on the development of Indigenous-led community-based …
Encounters with Chan
The handscroll Tales of the Eight Eminent Monks 八高僧故事圖卷, attributed to Liang Kai 梁楷 (fl. 1201–4), is a collection of eight alternating pictorial scenes and eight texts. The texts are largely excerpts from Transmission of the Lamp (dated 1004), which emphasizes adepts’ biographies, recorded sayings, and other nonconventional enlightenment literature. The scenes and text are encounter narratives 禪會 (chanhui) that depict meetings between travelers a…
Inuit wellness
By imposing non-Inuit ways of doing within households and communities, colonization has created a rift between generations and impacted the transmission of Inuit practices and knowledge. Inuit care-providers continue to support their fellow community members with individual and collective approaches to wellbeing. The objectives and design of the current project were developed with community members who play an active role in mobilization and well…
Exploring ambivalence toward pregnancy among young Inuit women
Ambivalence toward pregnancy is an important predictor of early pregnancy as documented in diverse Western societies. Inuit women from Nunavik, a northern region of Quebec, Canada, experience a high rate of early pregnancy, yet no study has explored their attitudes toward pregnancy. Grounded in a participatory approach, this study aimed to explore ambivalence toward pregnancy, among other pregnancy-related attitudes, and identify themes underlyin…
Sociocultural determinants of alcohol and cannabis use and misuse among Nunavimmiut
Key determinants of substance use relevant to Inuit culture were identified. Results are in line with our Inuit partners' experience in their communities and are coherent with current land-based interventions implemented in Nunavik. A thorough understanding of substance use contexts and related stressors should guide the content and implementation of substance use programs in Nunavik
Profiles of childhood adversities in Inuit from Nunavik
Childhood adversities among Nunavimmiut do not occur in isolation and experiencing multiple forms of childhood adversities predicts lower socioeconomic status, support, and community involvement in adulthood. Implications for the planning of health and community services in Nunavik are discussed
Visualizing Dunhuang
Seventy-eight years ago, James Lo 羅寄梅 (1902–1987), a photographer with the Central News Agency based in the wartime capital of Chongqing, descended upon the renowned but little understood caves at Dunhuang and Yulin with three cameras: a large 6 x 8 field camera, a 4 x 5 Speed Graflex, and a 35mm Leica. Eighteen months later, Lo and his wife, Lucy (b. 1920), left with 2,567 negatives in varying formats.1 By all accounts, this was the first profes…
Collaboration in Mental Healthcare for Indigenous Children and Youth
Culturally and contextually adaptive indicators of organizational success
This data-driven framework suggests that the measures of success that are frequently used by funding agencies (e.g., number of people reached, number of activities) may not fully represent the potential of local services in a given community. Indeed, services may be creating job opportunities for Inuit, instilling pride, offering cultural opportunities, and increasing capital (human, economic, health) within the community, all of which are equall…
Sociocultural factors in relation to mental health within the Inuit population of Nunavik
Although limited by their cross-sectional character, these analyses, based on the community component of the Qanuilirpitaa?, suggest that strengthening of family and community cohesion, and support of regular hunting and fishing deserve further attention as potential cumulative preventive avenues for Inuit mental health
The psychosocial dimension of housing in Nunavik
Overcrowding is associated with lower levels of perceived social support, which is a key component of health for the general population and for Nunavimmiut. Future research should examine the factors creating stronger associations between overcrowding and lower social support for men and older adults
It reflects the society in which we live, except now everything is accentuated”

Inuit Youth Transitioning out of Residential Care
For youth under child welfare, transitioning out of residential care and reintegrating into their community can be a difficult process. This may be especially true for Inuit youth who, because they are away from their communities, cannot develop networks and relationships that would provide a secure place for their development as an adult and as a community member. The objectives of this study were to document how transition out of care is addres…
Girls and Young Women Negotiate Wellbeing during Covid-19 in Quebec
In this article, we feature photographs and cellphilms produced by 13 girls and young women (aged 13 to 19) from urban, rural, and Indigenous areas of Quebec, Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Framed within girls’ studies, we present girls’ and young women’s creations and co-analysis about wellbeing during a period of lockdown. We explore how girls and young women restructured their routines at home as well as negotiated motivation and the pre…
Exploring Community Mobilization in Northern Quebec
Nunavimmiut (people of the land) are the Indigenous peoples of the northern peninsula of the province of Quebec. Communities of Nunavik and its regional organizations have been making concerted efforts in implementing community‐based strategies to support family wellbeing. These community strategies are grounded in many of the values underpinning community psychology: favoring empowerment‐oriented approaches, fostering community capacity, and tra…
Communities being well for family well-being
Inuit communities of Canada experience many disparities in health and psychosocial context. Research in community psychology has shown associations between such socio-ecological factors and individual well-being. The objective of the study was to explore how community-level determinants of well-being influence family well-being in a northern community of Nunavik, Quebec. A total of 14 participants were interviewed. A thematic inductive analysis w…
The nexus of war, resettlement, and education
What stories to tell? A trilogy of methods used for knowledge exchange in a community-based participatory research project
Researchers in the field of Aboriginal health generally have a keen interest in ‘participating in change’ to address the ongoing injustices experienced by Aboriginal peoples. Perhaps the most promoted methods for this purpose are those described as Indigenous methods and action research. Criteria of authenticity are generally used to assess the quality of research. In this essay, we reflect on how certain basic principles of action research, more…
Collaborating to improve child and youth mental health in Nunavik
Following various reports highlighting the lack of mental health services for children and youth in Nunavik (Quebec, Canada), high rates of child placements under youth protection, and gaps in the coordination of services, the Regional Partnership Committee of Nunavik decided to prioritize collaborative, community-based approaches to the health and wellbeing of children, youth, and their families. It is in this context that the regional projectIl…
Dans le Black Box d'Igloolik
Les taux élevés de suicide chez les jeunes Inuit sont souvent considérés comme symptomatiques des changements culturels survenus en quelques générations seulement. Aujourd'hui, les jeunes Inuit ont à transiger entre des cultures qui peuvent être vécues comme deux mondes opposés, avec des valeurs, des attentes et des contraintes parfois inconciliables. La littérature en santé mentale soulève le problème de l'accès aux soins, mais aussi le manque d…
Culturally Appropriate Care— A Multicultural Task
Over 30% of children in Nunavik have been reported to child welfare services byprofessionals, community workers, and/or community members due to possible need of protection, according to a recent report that identified important gaps in the system of care for Inuit youth in Nunavik (Sirois & Montminy, 2010). The objective of this qualitative study was to assess the perspectives of various actors regarding the needs of Inuit youth living in a resi…
Communicating power and resistance
Aboriginal youth are highly overrepresented within the child welfare system. High-risk youth are often placed in out-of-community residential placements. Such residential placements have been described by some as a continuation of colonial practices. Using communication theory as a conceptual model, we propose a qualitative analysis of micro-interactions that take place between Aboriginal youth and non-Aboriginal workers during the management of …
L'espace dans une résidence pour jeunes inuit
Environ 30 % des Inuit du Nunavik (Québec) sont signalés à la Protection de la Jeunesse. En 2010, une Résidence a été développée spécifiquement pour ces jeunes afin de répondre à leurs besoins cliniques et culturels. L’objectif de la présente étude est d’explorer l’utilisation que font les jeunes de cet espace résidentiel. Les résultats suggèrent d’une part que la résidence constitue une « institution perméable », permettant une certaine continui…
