“…As a result, decolonization involves bidirectional change (Battiste, 1998; Coleman et al, 2012). Importantly, however, it is impossible for decolonization to occur without Indigenous peoples playing a leading role in this process (Battiste, 1998; Coleman et al, 2012; Kelm, 2004). Therefore, Indigenous peoples’ leadership of decolonization processes ensures that Indigenous peoples are able to address their world-views and concerns through a lens that accurately represents their perspectives (Battiste, 1998; Coleman et al, 2012; Kelm, 2004; Smith, 1999).…”

“…By acknowledging this colonial shadow, Indigenous peoples can provide direction for the steps that should be taken in order to mitigate these effects. Decolonization strategies are necessary because they enable Indigenous peoples (with or without the assistance of non-Indigenous peoples) to develop strategies that may help them recover and/or strengthen their cultures and languages, as well as make it possible for Indigenous peoples to use their knowledge to overcome the disadvantages they currently face in Canadian society (Battiste, 1998; Coleman et al, 2012; Kelm, 2004).…”

RÉSUMÉLa théorie postcoloniale a été utilisée dans cette étude pour identifier les recommandations actuelles en matière de prévention des chutes qui sont proposées par les programmeurs locaux en prévention des chutes (PLPC), afin de réduire les taux de chutes chez les aînés inuvialuits à Inuvik, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest (Canada), et en vue de comprendre comment co-créer avec les participants des programmes de prévention des chutes qui soient culturellement sûrs pour les aînés inuvialuits. Les résultats ont montré que les aînés inuvialuits et les PLPC à Inuvik recommandent d’ajouter aux programmes existants des évaluations et des modifications environnementales, de l’activité physique et de la formation pour les aînés et les soignants. Pour que les programmes de prévention des chutes soient culturellement sûrs, les aînés considéraient aussi que ces programmes devraient inclure les stratégies suivantes : établir des liens de confiance et des relations au sein de la communauté, intégrer des interventions autochtones et non autochtones dans ces programmes, et assurer une formation sur les pratiques culturellement sécuritaires.

“…The Indigenous knowledge translation document is literature that draws attention to the differences between knowledge systems and their assumptions of Indigenous and non-Indigenous KT models and practices [ 29 , 30 ]. Universities, for example, are identified as places that “tend to acculturate and conscript different kinds of knowledge into their own existing categories for what can be known, how knowledge can be organized, and what forms of knowledge are legitimate and credible” (p. 142) [ 31 ]. Fortunately, the progression of mainstream KT includes different approaches, such as integrated KT, that is both necessary and the precursor to creating opportunities for many ways of knowing, such as Indigenous KT.…”

Plain English summaryIntegrated knowledge translation is a research approach in which researchers work as partners with the people for whom the research is meant to be of use. A partnered approach can support the use of Indigenous ways of knowing in health research that may then be used in health care. This is important as current health care models do not often support Indigenous values, ways of knowing, and care practices. We describe 1) why it is necessary to co-create knowledge that includes the voices of Indigenous community members, 2) how integrated knowledge translation is a way of doing research that includes many views and 3) how integrated knowledge translation can help those involved in research to agree upon and uphold ethical ways of doing research. Integrated knowledge translation may be used to include Indigenous ways of knowing into mainstream health research and to improve health systems. The use of an integrated knowledge translation approach in research may guide researchers to be research partners with Indigenous people and groups. Integrated knowledge translation may be a way to do research that is respectful and to ensure that Indigenous ways of knowing are included in both health research and health care systems.Abstract Background Indigenous people are affected by major health issues at much higher rates than for general populations, and Western health care models do not respond or align with Indigenous values, knowledge systems, and care practices. Knowledge translation (KT) describes ways of moving knowledge from theory into health systems’ applications, although there are limitations and concerns related to the effectiveness and contributions of Western-informed approaches to research and KT practices that promote health with Indigenous groups. Integrated KT is an approach to research that engages researchers with the people for whom the research is ultimately meant to be of use (“knowledge users”) throughout the entire research process. Integrated KT is done in ways that knowledge users may define as useful, relevant, and applicable in practice, and may also be viewed as complementary to Indigenous health research principles. Main In this paper, we raise and discuss questions posed to researchers by Indigenous knowledge-users about perspectives on health research, researchers, and research institutions, and focus on the role and ethical imperative for integrated KT in Indigenous health research. We describe: 1) why it is necessary to co-create knowledge that includes the voices of Indigenous community members within institutional academic spaces such as universities; 2) how integrated KT accommodates Indigenous and Western-informed perspectives in community-research partnerships throughout the research process; and 3) how an integrated KT approach can help those involved in research to define, agree upon and uphold ethical practices. We argue that integrated KT as a collaborative research practice can create opportunities and space within institutional academic settings for different ...
