Description
History Thesis (M.A.)--University of Calgary, 2005.
Looks at the development of a cultural humility with Indigenous peoples, requiring self-reflection and a changing of attitudes and behaviours.
Includes English translation of article originally written in German: "Eskimos at the Berlin Zoo" by Dr. Rudolf Virchow.
Authors note that Canada’s new Healthy Eating Strategy does not address social determinants of health (childhood environments, gender, Indigenous status, income, education and occupation) as root causes of poor diet quality; they suggest that a reduction of diet inequities will require policy change.
