The Diabetes Connections Initiative
Introduction: Diabetes has a high prevalence and high morbidity among First Nations communities, exacerbated by a complex history of intersectional determinants of health, including intergenerational trauma from colonization and structural racism. Thus, our team chose a co-design approach to developing a model of care to help to reorient diabetes care in our region to support community empowerment, autonomy, and ownership. Background: Diabetes ha…
Fathers of the Next Generation
Background: The positive influence of fathers on the health of their children is well-established, however the role and needs of Indigenous fathers and Two-Spirit parents is not adequately described and relevant parenting programs are lacking in Canada. Initiative: The Fathers of the Next Generation project, is a 3-phased initiative designed to understand the needs of Indigenous men and Two-Spirit parents as they transition to parenthood and deve…
It’s a big, round circle of knowledge to me. I don’t know how else to explain it”
Indigenous identity is supported by connections to land, community, and culture and is a key aspect of health. Cultural identity is threatened by settler colonialism, and urban Indigenous Peoples experience unique challenges including the myth that Indigeneity is incompatible with urban areas, even though most Indigenous Peoples in Canada live in cities, and many express their identities through urban Indigenous food sovereignty (IFS) practices. …
Service Providers' Experiences Engaging Indigenous Fathers and Two-Spirit Parents With Young Children in Parenting Programs
Healthy parenting is critical to the health of children and is often supported by prenatal and parenting programs. While numerous parenting programs exist for Indigenous families with young children, most do not meet the needs of men or Two-Spirit people. Participation of Indigenous fathers is typically low, and little is known about how service providers can engage Two-Spirit parents. This study aims to understand the experiences of service prov…
The Journey of Fatherhood
The experience of Indigenous men as they become fathers is not well documented in the literature, and available parenting programming in Canada often does not account for their unique perspectives. Supports and resources for expecting parents can be an effective way to support the transition to parenthood, yet most programs focus on women and mothers and integrate only Euro-Western approaches and values of parenting. Providing resources that meet…
Relational Approaches to Recruitment During and After the Pandemic
Recruiting research participants is a vital part of health research, necessary to obtain data that can yield meaningful results. Recruiting research participants, however, can be challenging and time-consuming. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant challenges to participant recruitment, as traditional methods relying on in-person interactions were not feasible with health restrictions. This was particularly challenging for community-led r…

Using Photovoice to Understand Barriers and Enablers to Southern Labrador Inuit Intergenerational Interaction
In Indigenous communities, strong intergenerational relationships have been identified as valuable due to the ways they contribute to cultural continuity and community wellness. This project uses Photovoice, a qualitative, participatory research method in which participants take photographs to examine Southern Inuit older adult and youth representations of intergenerational relationships in Labrador, Canada. Photovoice proved to be useful in acce…
Using Photovoice to Understand Intergenerational Influences on Health and Well-Being in a Southern Labrador Inuit Community
This research sought to explore one southern Labrador Inuit community’s intergenerational relationships, with a focus on seniors’ perspectives and understandings of health and well-being. This knowledge is important for accessing and responding to social and demographic change to ensure a continued ability to provide for future generations. Our research employed a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach and a qualitative, arts-base…

This article examines the relevance of the model of successful aging for Indigenous peoples in North America. METHOD: This article presents the results of a review of the published conceptual literature on successful aging among Indigenous peoples. Our intent was to explore the current state of…
