First edition named a 2013 PROSE Award Winner in Nursing and Allied
Health Sciences. This textbook for Canadian nursing and allied
health students explores the major health issues of Indigenous
populations and how to improve their overall health. The second
edition addresses a key development since the first edition was
published: an increasing consensus among Indigenous peoples that
their health is tied to environmental determinants, both physical
and philosophical. This text describes what is distinctive about
Indigenous approaches to health and healing and why it should be
studied as a discrete field. It provides a framework for
professionals to approach Indigenous clients in a way that both
respects the client's worldview while retaining a professional
epistemology. Grounded in the concepts of cultural sensitivity,
competency, and safety - yet filled with practical information -
this book integrates historical, social, and clinical approaches
illuminated by concrete examples from the field and relevant case
studies. New to the Second Edition: Delivers thoroughly updated
content, statistics, and coverage of political developments since
2013 Includes a complete test bank of multiple choice, true/false,
and short answer questions in each chapter Provides sample
PowerPoint presentation lectures in each chapter Key Features:
Authored by a leading researcher and educator in First Nations and
Inuit health Serves as the only up-to-date text on Indigenous
health in Canada Enhances learning with chapter objectives,
critical thinking exercises, abundant primary source material, and
references
