Learning Circles: A Collaborative Approach to Enhance Local, Healthy and Traditional Foods for Youth in the Northerly Community of Hazelton/Upper Skeena, British Columbia, Canada

Louise W. McEachern et al.

Summary: This article discusses the concerns of Indigenous communities in Canada regarding youth health, long-term food sovereignty, and the reclamation of traditional food-related knowledge. The case study focuses on the implementation of the Learning Circles: Local Healthy Food to School (LC:LHF2S) initiative in the Hazelton/Upper Skeena community in northern British Columbia. The study finds that the community has an active local and traditional food culture, with support from Indigenous governance and a focus on partnership and leadership development. The initiative aims to enhance access to local, healthy, and traditional foods for schools and youth, and the results indicate its feasibility and potential benefits for school-aged youth in the community.

Envisioning healthy futures: Youth perceptions of justice-oriented environments and communities in Northern British Columbia Canada

Onyx Vanessa Sloan Morgan et al.

Summary: Through an anti-colonial and critical race theoretical framework as well as arts-based methods, this study engages Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth to explore their perceptions of healthy and just environments and communities. The findings reveal that youth emphasize the importance of analyzing the structural conditions that influence individual outcomes of environmental health and challenge environmental health scholars to recognize youth as powerful actors. Their perspectives highlight the need for intersectional and complex understandings of health and wellbeing when discussing the environment.

Youth perspectives on community health in Nunavik: a community-engaged photovoice project

Madeleine Pawlowski et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the perceptions of Inuit youth aged 12-18 in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec regarding community health, by identifying community conditions that support health and exploring their conceptualization of a healthy community. Through a participatory photovoice activity, twelve key community conditions were identified, and the youth viewed a healthy community as an intact and unbroken place, visualized through the analogy of an inuksuk used for wayfinding. The findings confirm and strengthen existing models of Inuit health, while offering fresh perspectives and concepts relevant to the younger generation.

Indigenous Land-Based Approaches to Well-Being: The Amisk (Beaver) Harvesting Program in Subarctic Ontario, Canada

Fatima Ahmed et al.

Summary: The act of decolonizing knowledge systems involves recovering and renewing traditional cultural patterns, such as intergenerational relationships and traditional practices. The decline in beaver harvesting has led to an overabundance of beavers and dams, negatively affecting communities. The Amisk program aimed to reconnect Elders and youth through revitalizing traditional on-the-land activities, including beaver harvesting. The cortisol findings showed no statistically significant changes for beaver harvesting, but removing beaver dams led to a significant increase in stress. However, qualitative measures showed an increase in subjective well-being, emphasizing the importance of multiple perspectives, especially for Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous Women Voicing Experiences of HIV Stigma and Criminalization Through Art

Amy Mawdsley et al.

Summary: Indigenous women living with HIV are disproportionately affected by the criminalization of HIV nondisclosure. This study, conducted from 2016 to 2018 in Vancouver, Canada, with legal experts, HIV service organizations, and IWLWH, aims to understand how HIV nondisclosure laws impact the experiences of stigma, disclosure, and healthcare access for Indigenous women. Through community-based photovoice methodology, it was found that criminalization of HIV nondisclosure intertwines with colonial violence to affect social isolation, access to care, and resilience for IWLWH. The study calls for a justice system that focuses on healing and wellbeing rather than punishment for Indigenous women living with HIV, along with culturally safe services that respect the strengths of IWLWH.
