Abstract:
Indigenous People have displayed their strength through their holistic practices and spiritual connection to the land. Despite overcoming colonial policies, they face higher rates of cardiovascular disease than the general population. Our teams conducted a sharing circle in Moosonee, Ontario, to better learn how to improve access to culturally safe care. Using the principles of two-eyed seeing, 4 themes emerged: (1) heart health is more than metrics; (2) honouring our traumas; (3) destigmatizing care through relationship building; and (4) innovative solutions start with the community. To honour the importance of Indigenous storytelling, community insights were transformed into an arts-based graphic report.
