Indigenous Health
Overview
The health of the Indigenous populations located in Turtle Island (North America), is heavily impacted by the history and ongoing acts of colonization which resulted in the residential school system, relocation, and disregard for land claims. The social and economic conditions that were created as a result of colonialism have caused adverse physical, mental and spiritual health outcomes among the First Nations, Inuit and Métis populations.
To educate yourself and others, engage in advocacy, and understand the importance of decolonizating the work within the field of injury prevention, read the Truth and Reconciliation 94 Calls to Action published in 2015.
