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…
Shame, Identity, and Well-being in Métis Autobiographical Literature: A Narrative Review
This narrative review explores the intersections of shame, identity, and well-being in Métis experiences, as depicted in autobiographical literature. Despite governmental recognition, Métis identity remains ambiguously defined, impacting their integration into federal health policies.

As part of a larger intergenerational digital storytelling research project, this research undertook a community-engaged, arts and strengths-based approach using…
Addressing the need for indigenous and decolonized quantitative research methods in Canada
Though qualitative methods are often an appropriate Indigenous methodology and have dominated the literature on Indigenous research methods, they are not the only methods available for health research.

This paper illustrates that Indigenous doula care responds to a wide range of issues that affect Indigenous women's experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the post-partum period. Through building strong, trusting, and non-judgemental connections with mothers and responding to community needs, Indigenous doulas play a critical role in countering medical racism in hospital settings and advancing the resurgence of Indigenous birthing sovereignty
