“…That being said, I make no claim to expertise in this area and will present ideas from indigenous authors to support the position of Burghardt, Shade, and Temple-Oberle. 3 Western culture lives by rules (usually derived from the Judeo-Christian tradition). You can think of the "Ten Commandments … the thou shalt nots …."…”

“…The second concept introduced in this editorial highlights another Indigenous concept called the “aisttosastip” or two-eyed seeing, wherein the strengths of both Indigenous and Western knowledge and ways of knowing are merged. 2 The two “conceptual lenses” synergize to create a richer picture, like the vision between two eyes. This concept again reflects the value and importance of learning from different cultural perspectives and how, by listening with an open mind and intentions, and being open to different perspectives, one may end up with a new perspective and subsequent approach, that may never have been anticipated.…”

The Medicine Wheel, also known as the Sacred Hoop, is a concept embraced by some Indigenous communities and is expressed in many formats-in artwork (Figure 1), on land, and on paper. The movement on the wheel is circular and reflects the interconnections between the cycle of life and all aspects of health: physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health. The authors remind us of the important notion that as surgeons, we must understand-and recognize-all domains of health when treating our patients. Either consciously or unconsciously failing to recognize the importance of the connections between these aspects of health that may lead to nonadherence, lack of trust by our patients, increased risk of complications, and other potential poor outcomes that may not be measurable by our typical outcome measures.

Purpose: Our small-scale qualitative study sought to explore the experiences of Indigenous patients receiving care for cleft lip and/or palate at a multidisciplinary clinic. There currently are no published studies that demonstrate the experiences of cleft lip and/or palate patients receiving care in multidisciplinary clinics in Canada. This work is foundational to informing future care in a way that is reflective and cognizant of Indigenous ways of life and lived experiences. Method: Participants were recruited via purposive and snowball sampling through community networks and public advertising in relevant healthcare spaces. Semi-structured interviews were completed; transcribed verbatim and descriptive codes were generated using Indigenist research methodologies through the Blackfoot medicine wheel. Results: Five participants that included patients, parents of patients with cleft lip and/or palate, and Indigenous health liasions were interviewed. Participants indicated a lack of spiritual health, the physical demands of having a cleft lip and/or palate on a patient and their families, the fear and unknown associated with a new cleft lip and/or palate diagnosis, and lack of cultural support, awareness and racism may negatively impact mental health. Conclusion: Indigenous patients must receive cleft lip and/or palate care that is cognizant of both their cultural needs identified in our study but also reflective of the ways in which health may be conceptualized for Indigenous patients. The following models of care suggested in our study must also seek to address historic mandates that include UNDRIP and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.
