Analyzing structures and factors that shape Indigenous peoples' health in Canada
The overarching "event" that all facets of Indigenous peoples' health can be connected to is colonization; an ongoing "occurrence" that continues to promote cisheteropatriarchal binaries, ultimately invalidating and making it increasingly difficult to for Indigenous people to follow their traditional ways of knowing, doing and living, which are inextricably linked to their wellbeing.
1.1 The effects of colonization have left several Indigenous people with trauma, which for many has been left unresolved and passed down to family members since Indigenous folks haven't had access to culturally safe mental health resources.
1.1.2 Substance use
1.1.3 Resilience
1.1.1 Poverty
Cultural safety relates to the presence of inoffensive, respectful and non-violent relationships and environments that address the systemic power imbalances that continue to compromise Indigenous peoples' health.
5.1. Canadian health care systems continue to remain culturally unsafe for Indigenous patients and their families because they fail to understand and address the ways in which Indigenous folks' identities and environments intersect to impact their health.
5.1.2 Inequity
5.1.3 Vulnerability
5.1.1 Distrust
5.1.4 Reduced participation
All Canadian societal institutions are colonial in nature and structure, with one of their most prominent features being systemic racism, which is a major contributor to Indigenous people not being able to meet their needs.
2.1 Being that health care systems are too entrenched in systemic anti-Indigenous racism, Canadian health care settings inherently don't value Indigenous health; making it all the more challenging for Indigenous people to access the health services they need.
2.1.2 Early death
2.1.3 More injuries
2.1.1 Higher burden of disease
Indigenous people's health and wellbeing is grounded in their access to the land because they depend on their environment for food, traditional medicines and carrying out sacred, traditional ceremonies.
3.1 Land is essential for Indigenous folks to live in a way that honours their traditional ways of knowing and doing, and ultimately remain rooted in their Indigeneity and all the strengths it holds.
3.1.2 Smudging
3.1.3 Healing circles
3.1.1. Tobacco
Connection supports Indigenous peoples' health, as it maintains balance not only between the different domains of their health, but also between their families, communities, nations and natural environments; all of which intersect in traditional Indigenous ways of living, knowing and doing.
4.1 For Indigenous peoples, being connected to the land and the other Indigenous folks around them promotes a greater sense of self and pride in their identity, thereby supporting their emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical health and wellbeing.
4.1.2 Holism
4.1.3 Pluralism
