Values integral to putting Indigenous health promotion into practice
Decolonization
must be at the center of Indigenous health promotion because this ultimately disrupts Western worldviews that continue to reinforce unsustainable, extractive practices that perpetuate the global environmental health problems we have.
1.1 When decolonization is a priority, an ecological view of health, as is also specified in the Ottawa Health Charter, prevails amongst health promotion practitioners.
1.1.3 Connection
1.1.4 One Health
1.1.2 Disruption
1.1.5 Planetary hal
1.1.1 Indigenity
Relationality
explains how our health is inextricably related to that of the planet, thereby lending support to health promotion approaches that prioritize human and non-human health alike.
3.1 As a result, the health and wellbeing of the land and its ecosystems is safeguarded; allowing Indigenous people to foster wisdom by maintaining connections with past and future generations.
3.1.2 Traditional medicines
3.1.3 Land stewardship
3.1.1 Land based healing

go hand in hand with decolonization in Indigenous health promotion, as these values bolster cultural identity, so that everyone, Indigenous folks especially, can enable increased control of the social determinants of health.

2.1.2 Anti-oppression
2.1.3 Anti-violence
2.1.1 Anti-racist

4.1 This type of collective action makes health promotion is a unifying force that can identify relevant actions across different countries to address the ways in which social and ecological health impacts everyone.
4.1.2 Mobilixation
4.1.3 Cultural safety
4.1.1 Community
4.1.4 Trauma-informed approaches
For our ecosystems, biodiversities and food sovereignty to be safeguarded, health promotion practitioners need to restore
power/control
to Indigenous communities.
5.1 For this power transfer to be possible, provincial and national governments must make an explicit investment into ecological health by enacting specific/tailored policies.
5.1.2 Sefl-determination
5.1.3 Legal rights to resources
5.1.1 Economic reform
