What we learned from the Nokomisag/Grandmothers
The Four R principles (4Rs) of respect, responsibility, relevance, and reciprocity were developed in the field of education by Kirkness and Barnhardt and have guided respectful approaches in research. Our purpose was to adapt the 4Rs for storytelling methods in Indigenous health research and identify associated exemplary research practices. Indigenous team members drew on their traditional Cree and Anishinaabemowin languages to formulate revised …

Birth Outcomes Among First Nations Birthing Parents Incarcerated While Pregnant
The findings suggest that incarceration may contribute to intergenerational systems of oppression by compromising birth outcomes among First Nations and other birthing parents in Canada and underscore the need to both improve care for pregnant people who are incarcerated and invest in alternatives to incarceration
Elevating the Uses of Storytelling Methods Within Indigenous Health Research
There is a profoundly troubling history of research being done on Indigenous peoples without regard for their priorities and accompanying calls to decolonize health research. Storytelling methods can privilege Indigenous voices in research. Indigenous people’s knowledge systems have existed for millennium, where knowledge is produced and shared through stories. Our collaborative team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, and Indigenous El…
Canada First Nations Strengths in Community-Based Primary Healthcare
Locally led, self-determined care adds strength in FN communities, and is poised to create long-lasting primary healthcare transformation
Is Geographical Isolation Associated with Poorer Outcomes for Northern Manitoba First Nation Communities
This study tested the assumption that geographical isolation is associated with poorer population health outcomes among First Nations in Manitoba. Our results show higher premature mortality rates (PMR) in northern communities, declining slower than for any other Manitoba communities. Our results also show lower ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) hospitalization rate in the North, suggesting barriers to prevention and early diagnosis. Th…
Our People, Our Health
Recognizing the right of self-determination of Indigenous Peoples is essential to improving the state of community-based primary healthcare of First Nations in Canada. Understanding communities’ priorities and local health agendas is critical for primary healthcare transformation. We used a community-based participatory research approach to engage our partners: Nanaandawewiwgamig, the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba, and e…
Decolonizing health in Canada
Communities discussed the need for creation of protocols, constitution and laws to ensure growth of a decolonizing agenda. Inclusive to the concept are holistic, preventative, traditional health perspectives, and Indigenous languages. Colonization impacts were of critical concern and in need of undoing. Sharing of social and political efforts is seen as pivotal to change and includes all members of communities
In Consideration of the Needs of Caregivers
Grandparents are valued in traditional and contemporary Aboriginal societies. In this paper we summarize traditional knowledge from Manitoba Aboriginal experiences, and we provide data from contemporary on-reserve grandmothers. Data for this study were collected in 2007 in 16 First nations Manitoba communities. Open-ended semi-structured in-person interviews were conducted in maternal-child centers that provide programs for developmental health f…

(3) What are the impacts of racism on First Nation health? (4) What needs to be d…

We learned that successful collaborations require: a) invest…
Innovating for Transformation in First Nations Health Using Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) provides the opportunity to engage communities for sustainable change. We share a journey to transformation in our work with eight Manitoba First Nations seeking to improve the health of their communities and discuss lessons learned. The study used community-based participatory research approach for the conceptualization of the study, data collection, analysis, and knowledge translation. It was accomp…
