Our study draws from a relational concept of health to examines two objectives: 1) how social distancing protocols have shaped Indigenous connections with self, family, wider community, and nature; and 2) to exploring what these changing relationships mean for perceptions of health. Carried out by an Indigenous team of scholars, community activists and students, this research draws from a decolonizing methodology and qualitative interviews (n=16) with Indigenous health and social care providers in urban and reserve settings. Our results illustrate a considerable decline in interpersonal connections, such as with family, community organizations, and larger social networks, as a result of social distancing. Among those already vulnerable, underlying health, social, and economic inequities have been exacerbated. While the health impacts of COVID-19 have been overwhelmingly negative, participants noted the importance of this time for self-reflection and reconnection of human-kind and with mother earth. This paper offers an alternative perspective to popularized views of Indigenous experiences of COVID-19 as they relate to vulnerability and resilience.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48957266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It exhorts us to strengthen what has already been achieved and find ways of creating benefits for others. This paper presents the collaborative response to COVID-19 by Iwi (tribes) within Te Ranga Tupua (TRT), a collective of Iwi from the South Taranaki/Whanganui/Rangitīkei/Ruapehu regions of Aotearoa New Zealand. The research employs a mixed methods design, based on a Kaupapa Maori approach. The quantitative section identifies the population served and quantum of support provided, while the qualitative data presents the processes and associated learnings from the perspective of those tasked with the response. TRTs response to the threat of COVID-19 is shown to have been grounded in Māori values (tikanga), whānau (family) based and holistic, taking into account the mental, emotional, social, cultural and spiritual elements of safety and wellbeing, rather than just the absence or presence of the virus . The extensive relationships and networks that existed between tribes represented in the TRT collective were key to the timely distribution of care and support to Iwi members, to appropriate and relevant information dissemination and to the overall wellbeing of the people during the most difficult times of the COVID-19 response.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44456082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The respondents (n=149) shared health concerns including deterioration(s) of mental health (56.32%) and described mental health supports (68.42%), health supports for Two-Spirit individuals (57.89%), healing gatherings (46.05%) and trans-specific supports (44.74%) as critical interventions in fostering Two-Spirit health. The Alliance’s immediate response was to develop community-led responses to address urgent concerns. Our key promising practice has been hosting Two-Spirit gatherings as community-based health/cultural supports; the gatherings also serve as an opportunity for the Alliance to consult the Two-Spirit community about priorities and concerns. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alliance explored ways to keep the Two-Spirit community safe while maintaining critical social support(s) and gaining invaluable knowledge from the Two-Spirit community. We designed a survey that provided critical feedback resulting in the Alliance shifting priorities towards developing ways to bring Two-Spirit people together safely by virtual means, seeking sustainable resources to address emerging health concerns, and increasing capacity development of the Alliance.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45500986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For vulnerable populations such as the urban Indigenous, the first wave of the pandemic was even more challenging for multiple reasons. Many of their usual culturally safe services were interrupted, thus they found themselves struggling on different levels. Our team conducted a needs assessment to shed light on how urban Indigenous people living in the X region, in the province of Quebec, Canada, dealt with this situation and what were the most important services regarding holistic health they wished they could have relied on. To respect Indigenous culture, data collection was completed through sharing circles in addition to a web-based survey. The results indicated that participants experienced anxiety and psychological distress during the pandemic. They identified unmet needs related to family services, support in homeschooling, access to traditional medicine and spiritual and cultural practices to name a few. Future work should involve the implementation of culturally safe services, adapted to the pandemic era, for Indigenous people living in urban areas","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41381965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the collective efforts of public health measures by local, provincial, federal, and community partners, COVID-19 impacts were mitigated, and the severity of the outbreak in north-west Saskatchewan was limited. This article outlines the epidemiological profile of COVID-19 in the area during this period, and the concomitant narrative of the public health control measures. The narrative connects specific culturally grounded and strength-based approaches that were taken by community leaders and public health officials to moderate the pandemic’s impacts and contain the outbreak. Among the lessons learned from these multi-jurisdictional efforts were the need to customize interventions to individual community characteristics and the benefits of continuous consultation and communication with community leadership. These findings suggest that long term monetary investment in the strengths, assets and capacity of communities can contribute towards sustainable solutions for existing structural inequities that have been amplified by the pandemic. The collaboration that resulted from local, provincial, and federal partnerships informed other pandemic response measures for subsequent outbreaks that have affected the region during the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43147076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although acknowledging and speaking up against racial injustice is daunting, and is often met with disregard or inaction, the authors contend that this is a necessary undertaking to redress the ongoing harms of colonialism. Correspondingly, those who do not speak up must not have their voices silenced. Instead, the perspectives that Indigenous Peoples have regarding their own experiences of racism must be heeded seriously and produce real and tangible solutions. In narrating their own encounters of confronting and challenging racism, the authors juxtapose activism and resistance with the preservation of Indigenous Knowledge as a catalyst for propelling the necessary changes forward within health care to end racism. To be truly impactful, all efforts taken to address racism must occur alongside advancing equity of care and human rights for and by Indigenous Peoples at individual, community, and systemic levels. Changes are not needed after more evidence. The time to act is now.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46274299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
