“…The research approach was informed by Etuaptmumk, a Mi'kmaw framework for "two-eyed seeing" where Indigenous and Western knowledge or "ways of knowing" (worldviews) are envisioned to work alongside one another [56]. The "two-eyed seeing" framework proposed by Mi'kmaw Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall was a means to bridge Western science and research with Indigenous knowledge and practice.…”

“…The use of photovoice method combined with Etuaptmumk or a "two-eyed seeing" approach in this study remains important as it allowed youth to actively engage in the research process and connect visual images with their lived experiences or social realities [56,57,[62][63][64]. Youth were also able to share personal knowledge about particular issues that were difficult to express with words alone [65,66].…”

Land and nature as sources of health and resilience among Indigenous youth in an urban Canadian context: a photovoice exploration

et al. 2020

Background: Population and environmental health research illustrate a positive relationship between access to greenspace or natural environments and peoples' perceived health, mental health, resilience, and overall well-being. This relationship is also particularly strong among Canadian Indigenous populations and social determinants of health research where notions of land, health, and nature can involve broader spiritual and cultural meanings. Among Indigenous youth health and resilience scholarship, however, research tends to conceptualize land and nature as rural phenomena without any serious consideration on their impacts within urban cityscapes. This study contributes to current literature by exploring Indigenous youths' meaning-making processes and engagements with land and nature in an urban Canadian context. Methods: Through photovoice and modified Grounded Theory methodology, this study explored urban Indigenous youth perspectives about health and resilience within an inner-city Canadian context. Over the course of one year, thirty-eight in-depth interviews were conducted with Indigenous (Plains Cree First Nations and Métis) youth along with photovoice arts-based and talking circle methodologies that occurred once per season. The research approach was also informed by Etuaptmumk or a "two-eyed seeing" framework where Indigenous and Western "ways of knowing" (worldviews) can work alongside one another. Results: Our strength-based analyses illustrated that engagement with and a connection to nature, either by way of being present in nature and viewing nature in their local urban context, was a central aspect of the young peoples' photos and their stories about those photos. This article focuses on three of the main themes that emerged from the youth photos and follow-up interviews: (1) nature as a calming place; (2) building metaphors of resilience; and (3) providing a sense of hope. These local processes were shown to help youth cope with stress, anger, fear, and other general difficult situations they may encounter and navigate on a day-today basis.

“…2012; Wright et al. 2019). This approach attempts to frame data collection and analysis through the strengths of both ways of knowing and informed our research team—made up of both non‐Indigenous and Indigenous community‐based researchers—and choice of methodological design involving both Indigenous methods (Kovach 2009) and Western phenomenology (Merleau‐Ponty 1962) for data generation, interpretation, and analysis.…”

The performing arts can be a powerful means of wellness, identity exploration, and positive social representation for Indigenous young people. In this article, we outline the results of a year‐long collaborative study that explored Indigenous young peoples’ relationships between the performing arts, wellness, and resilience. Twenty in‐depth interviews were conducted with 10 Cree and Métis youth about their participation in the Circle of Voices theater program at the Gordon Tootoosis Nik̄an̄iw̄in Theatre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. A strength‐based analysis focused on performing pimâtisiwin, that is, how young people learn to enact, protest, and play with a wide range of social identities, while also challenging racially stereotyped identities often imposed on them within inner‐city environments. This research critically engages performative theory to more readily understand aspects of Indigenous youth identity and wellness and offers new empirical and methodological directions for advancing Indigenous youth wellness in urban settings.

“…41 Given that the available evidence of improved health out comes of Indigenousled medical partnerships remains limited, future research, such as scoping or systematic reviews informed by holistic (inclusive of mind, body, emotion and spirit) frame works, are needed to better measure and assess partnership efficacy in Canada and globally. Being mandated by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as a standard for Indigen ous health research and ethics since 2011, 42,43 Etuaptmumk, or a "twoeyed seeing" framework, in which health practitioners and researchers are called to operate through both Western (one eye) and traditional Indigenous knowledge (another eye), could be a useful approach for future practice, partnership and evidencebased research that aims to readjust power imbal ances and involve traditional Indigenous knowledge, including its holistic values and frameworks, modes of operation and standards of efficacy. *In this analysis, we reviewed qualitative, quantitative and mixedmethods research.…”
