Wisdom Lives in our Communities
In the Feast Centre for Indigenous STBBI Research’s Community Fellowship Program, wisdom is not something extracted from communities, but something that breathes within them—held in stories, carried in relationships, and shared in the spaces where Elders, Knowledge Holders, and community researchers gather. This paper shares the journey of the program as a living circle of reciprocity, where learning flows in many directions. Fellows bring the kn…
Kotawêw
Indigenous women, two-spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse people in Canada experience disproportionate HIV and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) inequities shaped by colonial violence and systemic racism. While Indigenous doula work is resurging as reproductive justice, its application to HIV/STBBI prevention and care remains underexplored. We examined how Indigenous HIV/STBBI doula care is envisioned and what competencie…
The Gigii-Bapiimin Study
The Gigii-Bapiimin study explored the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and wellbeing of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people living with HIV in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, two provinces in Canada with alarmingly high rates of HIV infections. Participants (n = 28 in Manitoba and n = 23 in Saskatchewan) were recruited using various methods, including flyers, community organizations, peers, and social media. The qualitative interviews…
Evaluating Facilitators’ Experience Delivering a Stress-Reducing Intervention for Indigenous Women with and without HIV
Indigenous women encounter increased stressful life experiences such as socioeconomic insecurities as well as inequities in health services and outcomes. These stress inequities, which stem from the historical and ongoing effects of settler colonialism, also worsen health outcomes for those women living with HIV. As a part of a broader research project on the impacts of stress-reducing interventions for indigenous women, this study examines the e…
Impacts of Covid-19 on trans and non-binary people in Canada
Our findings highlight the pandemic's systemic impacts on the lives of trans and non-binary people in domains such as healthcare, employment, and housing, and on the social networks of these groups, many of which reflect an exacerbation of pre-existing inequities. Based on our analysis, we recommend that public health researchers, policymakers, and practitioners attend to the structural impacts of the pandemic on these groups as primary sites of …
Not ‘everything’s a learning experience’
This paper critically explores the implicit and explicit message that ‘everything’s a learning experience’ when social work students engage in practice/community contexts as part of their professional training. It does so by reporting findings from focus groups, interviews and an online survey about the field education experiences of racialized, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQ and disabled social work students. According to these students, messaging that ‘ev…

Decolonizing Scoping Review Methodologies for Literature With, for, and by Indigenous Peoples and the African Diaspora
This article summarizes our deepened understanding of decolonizing research with, for, and by Indigenous peoples and peoples of African descent that emerged from conducting a scoping review of the methodological literature and reflecting on our review process. Although our review identified decolonizing methodologies as a promising approach, we questioned if our scoping review process engaged in decolonizing knowing. To unpack the epistemological…
Stable homes, strong families
Stable Homes, Strong Families (SHSF) is a community-based research project that sought to investigate the connection between HIV, housing and Indigenous cultures and identify strategies to ensure culturally appropriate housing programs and policies for Indigenous peoples living with and affected by HIV. The impetus for this research stems from a body of knowledge that recognizes the inextricable link between housing and health, as well as growing…
Increased mortality among Indigenous persons in a multisite cohort of people living with HIV in Canada
Stay Strong, Stay Sexy, Stay Native
Background Taking Action II is a community-based participatory action research project that adopted a strengths-based approach to thinking about Indigenous youth HIV prevention activism. Eighteen diverse Indigenous youth leaders produced digital stories about Indigenizing HIV prevention during the summer of 2012 at a week-long retreat. Youth were interviewed twice: right after they created their stories and again after community screenings. In th…
"When you follow your heart, you provide that path for others"
Cultivating and supporting Indigenous peer youth leaders should be an important part of Canada’s response to HIV. This paper examines how a group of Indigenous youth leaders took up the notion of leadership in the context of HIV prevention. Taking Action II was a community-based participatory action research project. Eighteen Indigenous youth leaders from across Canada were invited to share narratives about their passion for HIV prevention throug…
Towards an Indigenous narrative inquiry
Women are supposed to be the leaders’
Focusing on gender, race and colonialism, this paper foregrounds the voices of Indigenous young people, their histories of oppression, their legacies of resistance and the continuing strengths rooted in Indigenous peoples, their cultures and their communities. Exploring the relationship between gender and colonialism, the paper speaks to the lived realities of young people from Indigenous communities across Canada. Over 85 young people participat…
“Because we have really unique art”
Indigenous communities in Canada share a common history of colonial oppression. As a result, many Indigenous populations are disproportionately burdened with poor health outcomes, including HIV. Conventional public health approaches have not yet been successful in reversing this trend. For this study, a team of community- and university-based researchers came together to imagine new possibilities for health promotion with Indigenous youth. A stre…
Challenges to the involvement of people living with HIV in community-based HIV/Aids organizations in Ontario, Canada
The Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS Principle (GIPA) has been a core commitment for many people involved in the community-based HIV/AIDS movement. GIPA refers to the inclusion of people living with HIV/AIDS in service delivery and decision-making processes that affect their lives. Despite its central importance to the movement, it has received little attention in the academic literature. Drawing on focus group discussions among…
Barriers to well-being for Aboriginal gender-diverse people
Purpose – Despite health inequities experienced by Aboriginal and transgender (trans) communities, little research has explored the well-being of Aboriginal trans (gender-diverse) people. This paper aims to describe barriers to well-being in a sample of Aboriginal gender-diverse people in Ontario, Canada. Design/methodology/approach – In 2009-2010, 433 trans people in Canada's most populous province participated in a multi-mode health survey. In …
The Experience of HIV Diagnosis Among Aboriginal People Living With HIV/Aids and Depression
In this article, we consider how the broad context of Aboriginal people's lives can shape their experience and understanding of their HIV diagnosis. We conducted interviews across Canada with 72 Aboriginal people living with HIV who also reported feelings of depression. Consistent with what has been found in previous studies, participants responded to their HIV diagnosis with shock, disbelief, and often anger. Prior depression, drug and alcohol u…
The Excluded Workers Congress
The majority of excluded workers are workers of color, including African-Americans and immigrants from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. These workers are concentrated in three areas: the lowwage service industries of the global cities across the United States (i.e., taxi drivers, restaurant workers, and domestic workers in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago); urban communities with high rates of unemployment; and in
HIV testing experiences of Aboriginal youth in Canada
The objective of this study was to explore HIV testing experiences and service views of Canadian Aboriginal youth in order to provide information for HIV testing services. An exploratory, mixed-method, community-based research design was used for this study. Findings reported here are from 210 survey participants who had experienced an HIV test. Youth were recruited through 11 Aboriginal organizations across Canada, including AIDS service organiz…
