Setting the Context
There is a growing awareness of the severity and complexity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis health issues in Canada. The NCCAH’s resources contextualize the distinct and unique historical and contemporary forces which influence First Nations, Inuit and Métis health, health status and health outcomes in Canada. Some of these factors include colonization, intergenerational trauma, racism, urbanization, legislation, and health policies and programs. Many of the NCCAH knowledge resources will be of special interest to forward-looking students, educators, researchers, practitioners, community leaders, and policy makers in the fields of public health, medicine, and nursing.
