Week 7 Reading Assignment
Arts-based methodologies can be used as a decolonizing research approach with Indigenous populations.
Documentary-making is not only a form of data collection but can also be used to disseminate information simultaneously.
Documentary-making allows for story-telling to be shared directly by a person instead of the researcher transcribing, interpreting, and analyzing themes of the story's context.
An example of art-based methods can be documentaries to see the world, learn, and develop empathy toward other people's experiences.
It has been identified that the COVID-19 virus has been more than just a pandemic but, more accurately, a syndemic.
Public health strategies and initiatives implemented/enforced have ignored Indigenous populations' unique health needs and value systems.
Cultural safety is an important concept that should have been embedded within the public health strategies during the pandemic to ensure community participation, include Indigenous ways of knowing, and promote self-determination.
COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted Indigenous populations globally.
More than ever, it is a crucial time to acknowledge that Western thinking, ways and notions have contributed significantly to today's environmental problems today
It is important to provide space and opportunities to amplify Indigenous voices, knowledge systems and efforts such as culture camps and land-based programs.
Understanding the roles that non-Indigenous health promotion researchers can play with stepping back, providing support and resources, and promoting Indigenous self-determination.
It is desperately required that policies, laws and world leaders incorporate Indigenous values and worldviews related to sustainability and protecting the environment into action. Since time immemorial, stories, ceremonial practices, and Elders' teaching have taught generations to protect and care for the environment to ensure life and sustenance for future generations.
Developing, implementing and evaluating various health promotion programs within an Indigenous context require certain aspects that non-Indigenous public health practitioners must ensure they engage in.
Pan-Indigenous approaches are harmful and perpetuate misinformation about Indigenous people. First Nation, Métis and Inuit populations are diverse in their geography, languages, culture and traditions; even within those groups, there is vast diversity.
It is essential to engage in community-based participatory research/work that is built on mutual trust and reciprocity and ensures ongoing relationships are sustained.
Non-Indigenous public health practitioners must understand and reflect on the historical and ongoing contexts of colonization, assimilation, and residential schools and how these have contributed to the health inequities that Indigenous people experience today.
Shifting away from the notion that individuals are in control over their health and instead looking at the political, structural and economic factors that play a significant role in determining one's health outcomes and experiences.
There needs to be increased acknowledgement and understanding of relationality, supporting values, knowledge, and self-determination of Indigenous populations.
This also requires non-Indigenous public health practitioners/researchers to make space and allow for Indigenous health promotion to be prioritized and recognized as necessary to health promotion policies, programs and initiatives.
Indigenous health promotion involves more than just ensuring institutions are culturally appropriate and safe for Indigenous populations.
