Resumo

The main purpose of the article is to provide insights into the prevalence of internal and external organ illnesses in Brokenhead Ojibwa (Indigenous peoples of southern Canada and Midwestern USA) Nation, and their relationship with those cultural variables that the scholarly literature indicates as determinants of Indigenous health. The data were collected through a household survey. Both the descriptive results and correlation analysis indicate that hunting and trapping are negatively correlated with external organ illnesses. Likewise, education and income are negatively correlated with external and internal organ illness prevalence.
