“…In many countries, Indigenous populations represent some of the highest incidence of HCV infection [33]. Indigenous peoples are among those sometimes known as “key,” “target,” or “marginalized,” but these labels fail to recognize the inherent strengths and resilience of Indigenous peoples or the devastating impacts of colonization and health determinants [34]. Dr. King (Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada) provided information on Indigenous peoples in Canada and HCV by presenting on Indigenous research methodologies [35].…”

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects approximately 268,000 Canadians and results in more years of life lost than any other infectious disease in the country. Both the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) have identified HCV-related liver disease as a priority and supported the establishment of a National Hepatitis C Research Network. In 2015, the introduction of new interferon- (IFN-) free therapies with high cure rates (>90%) and few side effects revolutionized HCV therapy. However, a considerable proportion of the population remains undiagnosed and treatment uptake remains low in Canada due to financial, geographical, cultural, and social barriers. Comprehensive prevention strategies, including enhanced harm reduction, broader screening, widespread treatment, and vaccine development, are far from being realized. The theme of the 2016 symposium, “We're not done yet: remaining challenges in Hepatitis C,” was focused on identifying strategies to enhance prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HCV to reduce disease burden and ultimately eliminate HCV in Canada.

“…Researchers have also identified links between Indigenous health outcomes and low income, poor housing, low levels of formal education, high unemployment, and lack of social supports (Andermann, 2016;Rotenberg, 2016), as well as tobacco use and a lack of physical activity (Joseph et al, 2012). Many strategies used to improve these conditions in Indigenous communities have not been successful in adapting to and implementing Indigenous values and culture (Griffiths, Coleman, Lee, & Madden, 2016;Nesdole, Voigts, Lepnurm, & Roberts, 2014). And so there is growing recognition that elements such as identity, culture, spirituality, and wellbeing should be foundational to the development and implementation of new strategies if prevention and treatment are to be successful (Ashing-Giwa, 2005;King et al, 2009).…”

Increasingly, adult Indigenous language learners are being identified as the "missing generation" of learners who hold great potential to contribute to the revival of Indigenous languages by acting as the middle ground between Elders, children, and youth within their communities. Our research project NEȾOLṈEW̱ "one mind, one people" studied adult Indigenous language learning through the popular Mentor-Apprentice Program method. Over a 2-year period, our team conducted interviews and focus groups with participants involved in a Mentor-Apprentice type program in British Columbia, Canada. While our primary interest was to document the successes and challenges of the Mentor-Apprentice Program method for adult Indigenous language learning, we also included interview questions that gave participants an opportunity to share how participating in such a program affected them. During data analysis, we noticed repeating comments from participants about how their involvement with a Mentor-Apprentice Program impacted their own and their community's wellbeing; 6 exploratory themes were identified. Although studies have reported protective effects of Indigenous language use on health, health-related outcomes of language revitalization efforts remain underexplored. In addition to discussing the exploratory themes that arose from the study, our paper also proposes that these themes can inform future research in investigating the links between language revitalization and wellbeing.

“…The disparity between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous health outcomes is by no means limited to sexual health, and is a product of the ongoing effects from colonisation with marginalisation of Indigenous Australians . It is increasingly accepted that efforts to ‘close the gap’ must focus on empowering Indigenous individuals, families and communities to regain “control over their lives to improve health and wellbeing”…”
