Description
Community Health Science Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Manitoba, 2014.
Looks at the development of a cultural humility with Indigenous peoples, requiring self-reflection and a changing of attitudes and behaviours.
Researchers use a decolonizing approach in this study; interviewed 22 people from a First Nations community in Northern Ontario to explore the lived experience and perceptions about developing the disease. Findings indicate a need for culturally appropriate care.
