Canada's colonial legacy has resulted in many Indigenous people experiencing high mistrust in healthcare providers which can result in healthcare avoidance, such as delays seeking preventative care as well as lower screening rates. This may be compounded by language barriers as well as a lack of culturally safe care in healthcare settings. Cultural competency and safety education, which can include cultural immersion methods, has been widely prioritized and implemented in health care and academic institutions.
