Nda-nwendaaganag encompasses both the animate and inanimate beings referred to as ‘All My Relations’. I have devised several ways for Indigenous scholars to refer to \"All My Relations,\" because they are our collaborators, co-creators, and idea generators. The purpose is we acknowledge, honor, respect, celebrate, and to express our gratitude to Nda-nwendaaganag as contributors to our written work. In order to create the various methods for Nda-nwendaaganag, I gained motivation from the Baawaajige (Dream) Methods for citation inspiration (Shawanda, 2020). It was considering the critical moments in our time to record the source of knowledge, sacred space, and within seasons to capture when \"All My Relations\" shared and guided our knowledge. I categorize citation sources from an Anishinaabk worldview on the animate or inanimate. They are distinct in terms of how the information should be recorded for citation purposes. This includes things like the time of day/season, specific locations, and the geography of the generated theme, message, or idea. This will provide Indigenous students, scholars, and researchers to further decolonize settler knowledge systems. I hope that this resource will be useful to students, scholars, and researchers. I understand that it will not be accepted as valid citation practice within western sources, but it is a first step toward honouring and acknowledging Nda-nwendaaganag.","PeriodicalId":75269,"journal":{"name":"Turtle Island journal of indigenous health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46365749","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}

They are cannibals, flesh eaters, spirit eaters. Wendigos survive by consuming the life of others without reciprocity, care, consent, or regard in the name of personal gain or profit. Growing up, I was taught that the Wendigo condition was something that you caught like a disease or that grew within yourself like a cancer. They were monsters, they were the closest thing we had to “human.” Afterall, according to the ideological lineages of Marxism, liberal Enlightenment, and settler colonialism, to be “human” is to be a monster, a capitalist, a cannibal. Each of these ideological lineages root the definition of the “human” in transcendence, defined by property, exhibited through man-made aesthetics rooted in capital, white supremacy, anti-Black racism, anti-Indigeneity, and a false human/nature divide. In this paper, I argue that the term “Anthropocene”, much like the “human” it centers, requires an ontological limiting that fails to encapsulate the fullness of Anishinaabe worlds, but most importantly Anishinaabe responsibility to each other. I offer a reframing from my positioning, where the last 500 years of apocalypses can be theorized through an analysis of the rise of the Wendigos. In conversation with other critiques of the well-problematized “Anthropocene,” this contribution offers a theoretical exploration of Wendigo theory to further support that the term “Anthropocene” is reflective of itself (Davis & Todd, 2017, p. 761-780). I suggest the term “Wendigocene” as an alternative to “Anthropocene” within the context of Anishinaabe communities for Indigenous theorists, as this reframing invokes a responsibility to care for our relations and exercise abolitionist legal praxes which are central to our sovereignty.","PeriodicalId":75269,"journal":{"name":"Turtle Island journal of indigenous health","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135601645","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 lack of training and culturally appropriate resources available for caregivers of Indigenous Peoples living with dementia contributes to the accessibility gap for community-based respite care. Although current modules exist for respite care workers, there are limited culturally safe training modules designed for Indigenous caregivers and family members endeavouring to increase Traditional Knowledges around dementia. Developing an Indigenous, community-based caregiver toolkit for dementia creates culturally safe, accessible resources for community respite care. Guided by Indigenous Research Methodologies and community-based research, Morning Star Lodge, in partnership with File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council at the request of a Community Research Advisory Committee, aims to promote Indigenous community-based models of support and to develop a toolkit for caregivers of people living with dementia and their families. The toolkit includes information such as: understanding dementia, strategies for care, links to online resources for caregivers, and resources specific to Indigenous cultures. The goal is to increase caregivers’ access to dementia related supports through the distribution of the toolkit and to build capacity for the provision of community-based respite care by creating an opportunity for education, training, and increasing awareness in Indigenous communities. Creating a caregiver toolkit will also help to relieve caregiver stress by providing education to family members about community-based respite care and services available.","PeriodicalId":75269,"journal":{"name":"Turtle Island journal of indigenous health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48550279","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}

Previous literature has identified links between Indigenous language revitalization efforts and Indigenous well-being, but to date, there are few studies that explore this topic thoroughly. The purpose of this study is to explore the impacts of Indigenous second-language learning on urban Indigenous perceptions of their well-being. Urban Indigenous populations are growing, and are particularly impacted by language loss; thus, it is vital that urban perspectives be represented. Indigenous language-learners from the Nêhiyaw (Cree) Language Lessons Program in Edmonton, Alberta participated in semi-structured interviews. Five exploratory themes emerged from thematic analysis. The results presented in this paper, while exploratory, are a meaningful addition to the existing scholarship in this field.

To reduce disparities in disease burden and health outcomes, identification of the barriers preventing access to health care is necessary. Identifying and discussing these barriers can assist service providers in the provision of care, influence policies for health and social well-being, and advance the discourse on equitable health care for Indigenous Peoples. Our research goal was to identify evidence-based, community-driven and asset-based solutions from the perspective of Indigenous women living with HIV. We also aimed to identify the role of the social determinants of health that influence the rates of HIV among Indigenous women. We used a combination of community-based participatory research methodology and Indigenous storytelling during 148 one-on-one interviews with HIV- and/or HCV-positive Indigenous women. Nine additional interviews were executed with healthcare professionals, health directors, and Knowledge Keepers and Elders. The interviews included qualitative, open-ended questions. We utilized NVivo for data analysis as well as Nanâtawihowin Âcimowina Kika-Môsahkinikêhk Papiskîci-Itascikêwin Astâcikowina (NAKPA), an Indigenous method for qualitative data analysis. Through the analysis, we identified nine barriers to care including expenses for daily living and health care-associated costs, time, access to computers and/or internet, transportation, childcare, homelessness and missed appointments, age, experiences with healthcare professionals and the health care system, and language. These barriers prevent access to and engagement in health care, leading to poor HIV related health outcomes. Healthcare providers have an essential role in identifying barriers to care, improving access to care in a patient-centered approach, and working to improve culturally safe practices.

Co-researchers included individuals in sustained recovery of 12 months or more (n=5), Elders and Knowledge Keepers (n=2), and physicians (n=1). Indigenous story-telling was used during one-on-one interviews with co-researchers via phone call. Thematic analysis resulted in 12 themes identified from the interviews. These include trauma, systemic racism, gaps in care, role of physicians, health care needs, confidence, family support, peer support, spiritual care, resilience, culture and Elders, and words of advice. Co-researchers identified many areas of resilience and empowerment among Indigenous Peoples in addiction recovery including spirituality and prayer, and connection to culture, Elders, and traditional healing practices. Connecting with peers and family members who have been through similar recovery journeys and creating long-term, trusting relationships with physicians is also important for recovery.
