This document summarizes a study on indigenous healing practices among the Ayta people in Pampanga, Philippines. It discusses how after the 1991 Pinatubo eruption, the women in the community played an important role in helping the community heal physically and spiritually. It notes that some women had a gift for healing illnesses through traditional practices. However, over 20 years, the number of indigenous healers declined from 5 to only 2, possibly due to the establishment of a health center or scarcer healing resources. The study aims to document current health and indigenous healing practices, facilitate discussions on envisioning future health systems, and share knowledge with youth.
Generational trauma has severely impacted Indigenous Australians as a result of colonization, including the fracturing of families and communities through policies like removing children, incarceration, and cultural and spiritual genocide. Childhood trauma can lead to long-term negative health and social outcomes. Healing from trauma involves creating culturally safe places, telling and making sense of one's story, feeling emotions, and moving through grief and loss to acceptance. An educaring approach draws out healing through reclaiming culture and sharing stories so listeners can learn from storytellers' experiences.
1. The document discusses a study on indigenous healing modalities among the Ayta people in Pampanga, Philippines.
2. It notes that the Aytas are among over 180 ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines and were among the original inhabitants. The study was interested in their healing practices after some women displayed skills in healing following the 1991 Pinatubo eruption.
3. The objectives of the study were to document current health and indigenous healing practices, facilitate discussions on future health systems, and share knowledge with younger generations so the healing traditions can continue.
Cultural continuity, Indigenous identity, language and education matters: A c...AJHSSR Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that examines the impact of public policies on cultural continuity, Indigenous identity, language, and education for the Ainu people of Japan and the Māori people of New Zealand. Through a literature review and discussions with key experts, the researcher identifies how policies in both countries undermined the Indigenous cultures and endangered their languages. Specifically, the policies stripped Indigenous people of their homelands and pride, limiting education pathways and threatening the survival of their languages over generations. The researcher advocates for more research by non-Indigenous scholars that promotes social justice, reconciliation, and the restoration of Indigenous well-being and cultural rights.

Ontario Court of Justice Presentation Dr Stewart Jan 15.2014Suzanne Stewart
The document discusses the need for the Ontario justice system to learn about Indigenous cultures in order to reduce systemic biases against Aboriginal peoples in family court. It notes that Aboriginal conceptions of psychology, parenting and social behaviors differ significantly from Western worldviews. There is also overrepresentation of Aboriginal children and families in the child welfare system. The document advocates incorporating Indigenous conceptions of ethics, families and social structures into the court process to make it more culturally appropriate and reduce oppression of Aboriginal peoples. It provides examples of how understanding colonial history and Aboriginal worldviews could help reform practices to be more empowering for Indigenous communities.
Culture is learned behavior and norms that are transmitted between generations in human societies. It includes material objects, skills, knowledge, values, attitudes, and languages. Culture is varied between different human groups, adaptive over time, and passed down from older to younger generations through social learning and institutions like family and schools. Understanding culture can contribute to effective teaching and help with human development and innovation.
This document discusses cultural safety and its importance in healthcare. Cultural safety is defined as ensuring people feel safe discussing their cultural values and worldviews without feeling less important than others. It involves understanding how one's own culture can impact interactions with those from different cultures. Achieving cultural safety requires cultural awareness, sensitivity, and minimizing power imbalances. Providers should learn about clients' cultural views on topics like family, community, religion, and health beliefs. Reflecting critically on one's own practices and the impacts of colonization are also important for cultural safety. The document is from the Centre for Remote Health, a joint centre of Flinders University and Charles Darwin University focused on cultural safety.
The document discusses using design-led innovation and arts-based research methods to transform aged care. It provides examples of how participatory creative arts research helped raise empathy and awareness of aged care residents' experiences. The author advocates redesigning aged care with a biophilic lens to integrate nature and make spaces more health-promoting. Co-locating amenities like men's sheds, libraries, and childcare within aged care facilities could improve residents' experiences and interactions. Radical redesign and re-imagination of aged care is needed to better support residents, families, and staff.
This document discusses different definitions and perspectives on nursing provided by various scholars over time. It outlines that nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care for individuals in various settings and life stages. The document also summarizes that common themes in definitions of nursing are promoting and maintaining health, caring for those with compromised health, assisting recovery, facilitating independence, meeting needs, and improving well-being and quality of life through caring relationships.

This document discusses bullying within Aboriginal communities. It notes that:
- Nearly all Aboriginal youth have experienced bullying or lateral violence from their peers. Lateral violence refers to bullying among one's own community or ethnic group.
- 95% of young Aboriginal people have witnessed lateral violence and bullying at home. 95% of bullying among Aboriginal people is directed at other Aboriginal people.
- Lateral violence stems from colonization and oppression and is a way for oppressed groups to internalize pain and direct it at their own community instead of confronting larger systems of power. It causes negative mental health impacts.
- Forms of lateral violence include verbal and nonverbal attacks, sabotage, and scapegoating.

This document summarizes a presentation on housing, health, and the ongoing crisis for Inuit in Canada. It notes that Inuit have significantly lower life expectancy and higher rates of infant mortality and respiratory diseases than other Canadians. Housing is often overcrowded and in need of repair. Research is needed to better understand the links between housing conditions and health impacts and to identify policies to address the ongoing housing crisis for Inuit in Canada.
This document discusses factors contributing to housing (in)security and homelessness in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It explores how the meaning of "home" is context-dependent and multidimensional for Indigenous communities, involving connections to land, family, community, and traditional way of life. The document presents stories from individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity, and examines how northern housing and social policies can both help and hinder solutions.

This document summarizes a project to engage Inuit youth in tobacco use reduction through video stories about quitting smoking. [1] The National Aboriginal Health Organization and Inuit Tuttarvingat developed the Inuit Tobacco-free Network to share knowledge about tobacco use reduction. [2] They hired Inuit youth to film video testimonials from people in their communities who have quit or tried to quit smoking. [3] The videos were used in a classroom contest in Nunavut schools to encourage youth to think about the harms of smoking and consider quitting. The contest provided feedback on the videos and strategies to improve youth tobacco prevention efforts.

3. Knowledge translation is considered
synonymous with Indigenous knowledge, but its
common usages generally refers to the history,
ceremonies, practices, and beliefs of a particular
group that have been passed down from previous
generations. (Cultural Competence and Safety: A
Guide for Health Care Administrators, Providers
and Educators, NAHO 2008)
Cultural competence refers to the skills
required by a practitioner to ensure that patients
feel safe. (Cultural competency and safety: A First
Nations, Inuit and Métis Context & Guidelines for
Health Professionals, NAHO 2007)
4. Health care workers within the Inuit Nunangat
need to respect and understand the importance of
Inuit values, language and way of life within the
communities
5. Applying knowledge translation and
cultural competency in Inuit Nunangat
You have to be able to recognize that mental
health issues in Inuit communities are very
sensitive, suicide has taken the lives of many of
our youth population
Mental health is developed and is maintained
through connectedness with family, community
and the environment
Believing that health is a holistic concept
6. Establishing a connection between health-care
professional and client based on cultural safety
Accepting that there are different healing
processes for different people
Respecting each other’s strengths and abilities in
helping
Understanding how history may influence
experience
7. An effective way of sharing and learning the Inuit
culture is through knowledge sharing in an
environment perceived as safe through:
Leadership
Information
Education
