“…For example, Heritz (2018) noted that Indigenous peoples are severely underrepresented in Regina's municipal governance structure, even despite comprising roughly 10% of the city's population. 74 Due to their experiences with systemic oppression and marginalization, Indigenous peoples in Canada face ongoing barriers to participating in the institutions that have played a leading role in dismantling their sovereignty, cultural identity, and traditional ways of life. 75 A similar phenomenon has been observed among immigrants and visible minorities, who tend to be severely underrepresented in the local politics of Canada.…”

While there is a wealth of literature on the impact of urban design on health, our understanding of the factors that influence integration of health into urban design is limited. With the growing recognition of cities playing a leading role in enhancing health equity and population health outcomes, there is a need to examine the perspectives and experiences of municipal actors around health and equity. To address this gap, we interviewed 30 stakeholders engaged with urban design policy- and decision-making at the City of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. We found a lack of shared understanding of health among municipal actors. Our findings identified a number of factors that serve as facilitators and barriers to integrating health and equity in urban design policies. Findings from this case study deepen our understanding of these factors and provide recommendations for developing healthy urban design policies. Our findings underscore the importance of adopting an integrated and holistic approach for healthy and equitable urban design. As urbanisation continues to bring a greater share of the world’s population into urban areas, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of how municipal governance can be leveraged to create environments that are conducive to the wellbeing of their residents.

“…Indigenous residents of Saskatoon are split roughly evenly between First Nations and Métis people. Officials anticipate that, by 2031, it will be the most Indigenous (again, as a percentage) Canadian city (Heritz 2018). Saskatoon is home to three urban First Nations reserves-Muskeg Lake Cree (the first urban reserve in Canada), Ore Arrow, and Yellow Quill (Canadian Institute of Planners 2015).…”

How Can Urban Parks Support Urban Indigenous Peoples? Exploratory Cases from Saskatoon and Portland

In Anglo settler states, parks and Indigenous peoples interact in myriad ways, given the tight connection between Indigenous peoples and land and that parks are manifestations of settler control of land and heritage. Current park–Indigenous research is limited by a focus on rural locales, despite that more than half of Indigenous peoples live in urban areas. This exploratory paper draws connections between literature rooted in urban Indigenous studies and park management. I argue the literature’s current emphasis on rural locales neglects to consider how urban parks, might contribute to reconciliation if they affirmatively support urban Indigenous identities and cultural activities. I use two mini case studies—the Meewasin Valley Authority (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) and Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (Portland, Oregon)—to highlight some of the ways in which urban parks can support urban Indigenous peoples’ responses to persistent urban settler-colonialism.
