“…CBPR involves a process of reflection and articulation of experiences and perceptions on the part of non-Indigenous researchers or Indigenous researchers who are not members of the community [ 58 , 59 ]. An important limitation of our study was that non-Innu researchers do not speak Innu-aimun and the interviews and focus groups were conducted in English and translated back by interpreters.…”

We examined Indigenous views of wellbeing, aiming to understand how the Labrador Innu view influence of land on their health. The Innu live in two First Nation communities (Sheshatshiu and Natuashish) in the subarctic portion of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Their views on land and wellbeing are context specific and have not been studied; our research addresses this significant gap in literature. Findings highlight that the experience of being on the land with family and community, learning cultural knowledge, and gaining a sense of identity play a major role in enhancing wellbeing. Externally imposed policies and programs conceiving Indigenous land as a physical place only fail to understand that land sustains wellbeing by emplacing knowledge systems and cultural identity.

“…Furthermore, as how utilizing an Indigenous paradigm as a non-Indigenous person is limiting in the relational aspect to Indigenous communities, as discussed previously. In Kilian et al (2019), the authors discuss how throughout history, many non-Indigenous researchers had conducted the majority of research for and about Indigenous people.…”

“…Moreover, that much of the research rarely had direct benefits and sometimes resulted in harm for Indigenous communities (Kilian et al, 2019). Thus, I understand the risk of harm that can be done to communities where there is data created that does not highlight an Indigenous voice nor the voice of their community.…”

Suicide is an ongoing crisis for many First Nation communities in northern Ontario. First Nation youth taking their own lives as become highly prevalent in many small communities, leaving behind friends and family struggling with grief and loss. Despite a significant volume of literature on the suicide crisis, there are some gaps that continue to be seen on the influences on First Nation youth suicide. In utilizing secondary data analysis (SDA), this research explores the those influences in these areas: First Nation people's access to resources, grief and loss to suicide, the effects of Indian Residential School, and one’s connectedness to land, spirituality and culture. I discuss the effects of colonization and intergenerational trauma in relation to the findings. This research is conducted in hopes to expand future suicide prevention strategies and encourage ways the social work profession can better provide services for First Nation communities.

“…Both authors are non-Indigenous researchers who have an interest in qualitative multi-disciplinary research. Given the history of unethical research in Indigenous communities (Kilian et al, 2019), there is often apprehension among Indigenous communities toward research carried out by non-Indigenous researchers. For this reason, it was important to frame this research in the most appropriate and ethical way possible.…”

“…Both authors currently work within either field as practitioners, and through discussion realized that there is potential to contribute to the sustainable tourism development literature. Kilian et al (2019) highlights that relationship-based research that is reflective of community priorities and benefits the communities through capacity-building initiatives such as training, local hiring, recognition of contributors and the return of results is the approach that should be taken. This paper echoes those principles and further acknowledges that next steps for this research should be conducted in open partnerships, with Indigenous organizations and people.…”

From unlikely to likely partnerships for change - child welfare and Indigenous tourism in Canada

The Indigenous tourism sector in Canada is rapidly developing. However, Indigenous communities are challenged by the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system. This multidisciplinary paper explores the intersection of child welfare and Indigenous tourism in Canada, specifically, by examining the role of Indigenous tourism in contributing to the welfare of Indigenous children in their communities. This paper reviewed grey Canadian tourism literature and analysed whether the industry is publicly acknowledging child welfare in their public discourse. Results indicate that Canadian tourism associations are not addressing child welfare in their public facing documents. Applying complexity theory as a lens, this paper discusses how this unlikely partnership between the child welfare and Indigenous tourism industry is critical in increasing the benefits of tourism, while intentionally finding ways to reduce the risks, particularly to children. This article concludes with recommendations on how this unlikely partnership can be fostered to become a likely partnership.
