Health Sciences Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Ottawa, 2017.
Uses a weighted sample of 2,211 First Nations children and 34,575 non-Indigenous children extracted from administrative databases of institutions which provided child protection services.
Results from 1,350 individuals living in 25 communities. Respondents were asked questions about employment, income, ability to meet expenses, retirement, cultural practices, First Nations language skills, and physical health.
Examines how culture helped shape the experiences of Indigenous populations during the COVID pandemic.
Search performed in Windspeaker, Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, and National Post yielded 256 relevant results. Analysis of articles found limited coverage focused of government responses rather than preventative measures.
