Promoting self-determined Indigenous data governance in Canada: The Métis Health Research and Data Governance Principles
Population-level data collection is crucial to advance Indigenous rights and sovereignty but requires localized approaches to develop representative datasets. In Canada, a focus on First Nations research and data governance and principles has led to the underrepresentation of Métis realities and a reliance on data governance models that fail to address their unique cultural, historical, and community-specific needs. “The Saskatchewan Métis Health…
Nistohtamwin or the Act of Understanding: Experiences of Métis Cancer Survivors in Northern Saskatchewan Through Digital Storytelling
This article highlights a collaboration involving seven Métis cancer survivors from Northern Saskatchewan, alongside researchers and staff from the Saskatchewan Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR) and StoryCentre Canada. Over a span of four days at Back to Batoche, a key Métis cultural event, participants worked with StoryCentre staff to exchange their cancer experiences and create their own digital stories. The research t…
From locker rooms to change rooms: The Beardy’s Blackhawks and transformative hockey spaces
Ice hockey occupies a central place in Canadian popular culture and national mythology, routinely invoked as “Canada's game” and as a formative site for producing disciplined and socially valued citizens. At the same time, the sport has been widely critiqued for reproducing racialized exclusion, settler colonial power relations, and other forms of social harm. This article examines the intersections of sport, settler colonialism, and reconciliati…
“We Know Who We Are”: Reflections on Métis Youth Identity, Health and Well-Being
The purpose of this article is to gain insight into the ways in which Métis youth describe, understand, and express their identity and how this relates to their overall health and well-being. There has been a lack of opportunity for Métis to identify and control depictions of themselves. As part of a larger intergenerational digital storytelling research project, this research undertook a community-engaged, arts and strengths-based approach using…
Indigenous Identity Fraud: An Interview with Caroline Tait
Collective intelligence to solve complex health challenges facing Indigenous peoples: Organ donation and transplantation
The First Nations and Métis Organ Donation and Transplantation Network (the Network) facilitates Indigenous-driven, culturally-informed, and safe research, policies, education, and advocacy regarding organ donation and transplantation through the building of collective intelligence among Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Network’s think tank comprises Indigenous Elders, thought leaders, and persons with lived experiences of organ donation—living …
The Alberta Indigenous Mentorship in Health Innovation Network: Approach, activities and reflections of an Indigenous mentorship network programme
The Alberta Indigenous Mentorship in Health Innovation (AIM-HI) Network was developed by Indigenous faculty members as an intergenerational mentorship programme for First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) scholars engaged in health research training programmes. Through activities and funding programmes, the AIM-HI Network provided opportunities for these scholars to strengthen their personal and professional resources and gain resilience along path…
Sport for Development and Decolonization in a Settler Colonial State: Physical Culture in the Lives of Indigenous Peoples Incarcerated in Canadian Prisons
This article considers if sport, broadly defined, can be constructed as a decolonizing practice for Indigenous Peoples incarcerated in Canadian prisons. Situating our analysis within transformative and decolonizing approaches to sport for development, we bring together disparate literatures—on settler colonialism and Indigenous incarceration, decolonization and Indigenous resurgence, and sport and incarceration—to critically analyze possibilities…
Comparative Analysis of Coloured Gangs in Cape Town and Indigenous Gangs on Canada’s Prairies: Connecting Localized Opposition to Globalized Grievances Through Street Culture
Opportunities Denied: The Divergent Resonance of Opportunity for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Hockey Players With the Now-Disbanded Beardy’s Blackhawks
For 25 years, the Beardy’s Blackhawks were Canada’s only U18 AAA hockey team located on and operated by a First Nation. The team encouraged young, Indigenous athletes to take pride in their cultural heritage and offered a sense of belonging and acceptance while also providing an opportunity for non-Indigenous players to play in such an environment. In 2019, the Saskatchewan Hockey Association made the decision to eliminate the Blackhawks from the…
The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology
Indigenous sociology makes visible what is meaningful in the Indigenous social world. This core premise is demonstrated here via the use of the concept of the Indigenous lifeworld in reference to the dispossessed Indigenous Peoples from Anglo-colonized First World nations. Indigenous lifeworld is built around dual intersubjectivities: within peoplehood, inclusive of traditional and ongoing culture, belief systems, practices, identity, and ways of…
Manufacturing Compliance with Anti-Indigenous Racism in Canadian Hockey: The Case of Beardy's Blackhawks
Interviews with Indigenous and settler players on the Beardy’s Blackhawks Midget AAA hockey team, as well as with those players’ parents, unanimously acknowledge racism directed at Indigenous players during the team’s most recent season. More insidiously, the interviews register social pressures within hockey culture that discourage reactions to such racism and thereby condition acquiescence to and potential reproduction of oppressive colonial co…
Surveilling Indigenous Communities in a Time of Pandemic
Ongoing racism continues to violently impact on the cultures, lands, and bodies of Indigenous Peoples. While many health researchers are meeting the ethical challenges in working with Indigenous communities, this commentary draws attention to the often-uncritical adaption or use of digital tools. Many digital technologies, deliberately or accidently, lend themselves to overt or covert surveillance of communities. Indigenous resistance to surveill…
Micro-Reconciliation as a Pathway for Transformative Change: Applying a reconciliation strategy to the everyday relationships Indigenous peoples have with the human service sector
This paper introduces the concept of micro-reconciliation as a pragmatic action to support cultural safety and humility work. Similar to cultural safety and humility, micro-reconciliation practices aim to challenge and diminish racism, inequality and inequity experienced by Indigenous peoples. In arguing for changes to the human service sector, micro-reconciliation exists at the intersections between entrenched structural racism and the psycholog…
Global Indigenous Health: Reconciling the Past, Engaging the Present, Animating the Future
A Matter of Black and White: The Autobiography of Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher
Horizontally Oriented Rotating Kinetic Painting
An aesthetic of kinetic art is established upon the principle that all art is essentially contemplative. Art which is subject to change must also be apprehended as a total structure. The author believes that if the total structure cannot be perceived at a single moment, then it is necessary that past moments be remembered with some degree of completeness. Those elements in a work which are remembered, form a sub-structure upon which the less stab…
