Introduction to Indigenous Health Canada

The course examines through a culturally safe, anti-racist, and anti-discriminatory lens concepts and theories required of the Registered Nurse to provide culturally appropriate care to Indigenous people. Through self-reflection on the positionality of the Registered Nurse in the Code of Ethics and professional responsibilities to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action, the learner will foster an understanding of colonization and cultural genocide and its impact on Indigenous people in Canada. The learner will obtain and apply knowledge of core concepts in Indigenous culture, worldviews, and ways of knowing in meeting the wholistic needs of Indigenous people. Through analyzing historical and contemporary issues impacting Indigenous people, the learner will foster and devise leadership skills in advocating for Indigenous people in their future role as Registered Nurses.
