Indigenous Health Promotion
Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers and professionals can collaborate to combine two differing worlds of research and practice to create sustainable and inclusive practices.
Non-Indigenous health promotion professionals must focus on amplifying Indigenous voices and knowledge systems to help promote health equity
Incorporating modern technologies to help return to Indigenous values through land-based learning can be an effective product of collaboration
Documentary filmmaking as a form of ethnographic and community-centred research can be an effective method in promoting the lived experiences and stories of Indigenous communities
Global health events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have drastically worsened health inequities for marginalized communities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been suggested to be a "syndemic," or an epidemic that spreads through inequitable social conditions and characteristics that have existed long before the medical issue of the epidemic or pandemic at hand
Public health measures that do not consider the unique needs of Indigenous communities will only serve to further exacerbate health inequities
Cultural safety is a key component of effective and equitable public health measures, especially throughout high-stakes global events such as a pandemic
Current and future research must ensure that colonial research and health promotion practices are interrupted and Indigenous researchers receive control over funding, planning, and implementation of health promotion interventions.
Practices rooted in connection are key in Indigenous health promotion
Traditional spiritual and wellness practices are a cornerstone of health for Indigenous communities and must be accessible and equitable
Mainstream health promotion initiatives may be perceived as a form of control over Indigenous communities as a result of colonized research methods and practice
Westernized perspectives that divide humanity and ecosystems are not sustainable and will inevitably fail with the ongoing climate crisis.
Public health professionals must incorporate an ecological health framework into their work in order to keep up with the ever-changing field of health promotion
Sustainable development is key within public health interventions and for advancing the field of health promotion
Health promotion must shift away from Western worldviews and move towards the holistic and relational perspectives held by and practiced by Indigenous leaders and communities
Indigenous knowledge systems are essential in ensuring equitable ecological and planetary health approaches.
Key concepts of Indigenous health promotion include self-determination, land-based learning, decolonization, health equity, environmental sustainability, cultural and linguistic integrity, and resurgence
Indigenous health promotion focuses on an increased sense of control over health determinants, as well as efforts to strengthen cultural identity by centering Indigenous worldviews
