Contextualizing Medical Assistance in Dying in Nunavut
Medical assistance in dying (MAID) has become one of the most contested areas of health policy in Canada, yet little empirical research has examined how Inuit communities understand and experience MAID within their own social and cultural contexts. This exploratory qualitative study examined perspectives on MAID among Inuit community members in Nunavut, with particular attention to how ethical decision-making is shaped by relationships, access to…
Cultural and contextual relevance of the Indigenous data in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging
We use this community consultation process to provide recommendations for the appropriate use of the Indigenous-identified data in the CLSA, and we conclude by recommending great caution when using the data from the Indigenous subsample in the CLSA data
Evaluation of an Indigenous Traditional Healer and Medicine Program in a Canadian Correctional Facility
Indigenous Peoples, especially Indigenous women, are overrepresented in Canadian prisons. Given the underlined importance and benefits of culturally-based programs for justice-involved Indigenous people, Canada’s federal correctional system is committed to providing culturally appropriate programs and practices to meet the needs of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people in custody. Healthcare is one area the federal correctional system is committ…
Conversations on Cannabis and Mental Health
With the recent legalization of cannabis in Canada, there is an urgent need for information about its effects on Indigenous populations due to the impact of cannabis on the mental health of Indigenous Peoples in Canada being largely unknown. Using the guiding principles of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing), Sharing Circles were held to hear the needs and experiences of Indigenous People in relation to their mental health and cannabis use. From these e…
Forced or Coerced Sterilization in Canada
Between 2015 and 2019, over 100 Indigenous women from six provinces and two territories have come forward to say that they were forced or coerced to undergo a sterilization procedure in Canada. Despite this, government action is lacking. Through this paper, the research team aims to collect and synthesize the recommendations that have been made in response to the recent cases of forced or coerced sterilization of Indigenous women in Canada. Throu…
A Culturally Safe and Trauma-Informed Sexually Transmitted Blood Borne Infection (STBBI) Intervention Designed by and for Incarcerated Indigenous Women and Gender-Diverse People
Indigenous women are grossly overrepresented both within the federal correctional system and among Sexually Transmitted Blood Borne Infection (STBBI) diagnoses in Canada. Mainstream approaches continue to fall short in addressing Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis C and other STBBIs within this population. In this paper, we argue that, in order to be successful, STBBI programs and services must hinge on meaningful community participation, co…
Applying an Indigenous and gender-based lens to the exploration of public health and human rights implications of Covid-19 in Canadian correctional facilities
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…
