LibGuides: Indigenous Hub: Healthcare

Overview

The movement to center Indigenous perspectives in healthcare is not a new one; it's a culmination of decades of advocacy, resistance, and nation-building by Indigenous peoples across Canada. It represents a fundamental shift away from colonial models of care towards systems that are culturally safe, equitable, and responsive to the unique needs and worldviews of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals and communities. This section of the guide specifically highlights resources created by Indigenous Researchers and Organizations.

Many of the resources listed on this page were originally compiled by X̱wi7x̱wa Library for their Indigenous Health Sciences Research Guide
