Description
Qualitative interview study which engages 22 non-Indigenous Canadians from one city, explores how knowledgeable and how engaged participants are about the issues surrounding drinking water in Indigenous communities. Found that most participants had minimal understanding of the issue and faced barriers to engagement including racism and a lack of resources, capacity, and personal responsibility.
