Indigenous Knowledge to Close Gaps in Indigenous Health | Marcia Anderson-DeCoteau | TEDxUManitoba
Health programs that are culture-based and use both western and Indigenous knowledge have the potential to be more responsive to Indigenous peoples and their rights than the status quo and could be the key to closing the gaps in Indigenous health.
Manito Ikwe Kagiikwe is a program that serves substance involved women who are pregnant or early parenting. They work according to the Seven Sacred Teachings, treating women who are often the most stigmatized in the health care system with love and respect.
Dr. Anderson DeCoteau is a Cree-Saulteaux physician working in predominantly administrative/ policy/ planning
type roles. She strives to ground mainstream systems approaches to Indigenous health in Indigenous rights, and Indigenous understandings and teachings around health, being healthy, and healingwhich sometimes requires
challenging definitions of science and evidence.of

Health tip number 1: petrol is not good for the human body…now this is some real aboriginal knowledge right here
Teachings: Determination,Diet and motivation. Setting personal goals and start moving. Why do people make it about racism??.. death by a urinary tract infection sounds like uncontrolled diabetes and late medical help. If everyone took control of their personal health care..our A1Cs would improve and decrease cost of healthcare.
Chii Migwech!

I think the diabetes in us (the first nations people) is because our bodies arnt used to digesting all the white man foods and man made gmo’s and ect.
I watched this a day after the arrests at the Wetswetin blockade. It’s important to me to educate myself on the lies and pain that my people have committed in the over 200 years my ancestors have been on the continent. Thank you for this.
This was very enlightening. Thank you for sharing! ♥️
thank you for sharing your ancient wisdom
Having free healthcare must be terrible! Simple solution for rampant diabetes; LAY OFF THE BOOZE!
Anyone know of the United States "equivalent" of this talk??? Or even something more comprehensive about all underserved people in the US healthcare system? I am starting a training for my family medicine practice in the US. I love this video in particular because we too hire people with their kindness as a priority….and it is our mission.
I have watched this video 3 times, I will watch it more, so much to learn ….and so much we can do and change …thank you
health 102 where u at
wow. this is so inspiring. thank you for sharing.
It appears that some people in the comments really are not paying attention to what is being said there. Instead, they are trying to diminish her impact and teaching of her, and others like her, experience with racism in the Canadian healthcare system.
I don’t know, she is talking about racism being the cause of poor health, diabetes, etc. Meanwhile she is slightly overweight, at a level that is certainly high enough to cause diabetes. I think education and self control is an issue there. They have similar issues in Fiji where the native locals are a majority. Poor education on diet, etc has resulted in very high rates of obesity. They eat themselves to death, and ignorance is the only cause.
Stop trying to blame something like that on everyone else. Take care of yourselves and take responsibility.
I just took part in an inquiry about how aboriginal mother’s and their children receive treatment and services in the health care system in Ontario. Turns out I wasn’t alone…many are ignored or dismissed when we have concerns, racism is SO PREVALENT and in your face at times. I had concerns and took my daughter to a pediatrician who didn’t ask questions right away, she literally striped my baby and examined her from head to toe, as my husband and I stood trying to figure out why the doctor hasn’t asked any questions, she looked us in the eye and said " I’m looking for bite marks, burns and bruises" my stomach dropped. I decided to do the inquiry because not only have I experienced this treatment but my mother died 6 years ago because her doctor refused to send her to a specialist when he cut her toe nails to short and she developed gangrene, when I went to visit my mother in ICU the tube that drains feces was full and about to go back into her, Tests came back that my mother haf human feces on her freshly amputated leg and died 6 days later on my brother’s birthday. We need to speak up for our elders and babies, the treatment first Nations people get at times by doctors and nurses is inhumane. As a great onkwehon:we woman once said " don’t fear the fight, fear standing still because courage is getting knocked down but getting back up, standing still is far more dangerous" Nya:Weh for this video

The Pincher Creek Alberta hospital used covid swabs as an excuse for me not to monitor my 73 year old mothers care; where 4days prior I had a negative swab, with no covid contact to the day of witnessing my mothers poor care with an IV, today! She was convulsing and shaking extensively, very prominent. Therefore, I asked what she had been given with her IV. Where nothing for her muscle intake nor brain relief!
I had to persist unrelenting. In order for her to have one adivan. No further along, much of her shaking and unsteady gait, had resided.
This shows the incapacity of medication care and the means to cover up this malpractice, with doctor directive under nurse authority to hide abuse!
I am scared for my mom and the abuse she is to endure, without adequate attention to her right for specialist care and proper treatment.
I have further witnessed self inflicted pain that has seemingly become a practise for suffering and alliance abuse. With my family abuser and my moms family doctor. I believe these are symptoms of suicide. Where signs and symptoms are used as a sign of mental health wellness. And this wrong! The source of poor health with the need for treatment, is denied and the actual cause is overlooked, as a means for nursing care comfort.
The Pincher Creek hospital is over runned with money making schemes, through over extended hourly wages, and low activity on the job conditioning.
I am appalled as a common regular community member, to witness such cruel and unusual punishments, with profuse controllive tactics. To adhere to even proving my own incapacity for reason, right in the ER!!
My family doesn’t know about medical care policy and procedures, nor have many people gone to medical school, where common practise is a reasonable factor.
To treat the rural community in equal populous to the sectioned city populous numbers, like there us any difference in need and resource access, with specialist level care. Is very inadequate.
And there is clearly a pattern to use personal funds for grand wages with long durations of hourly income. Rather than, on site specialist appointments and consultations. That would give the Health centre and Hospital care, appropriate exposure and development.
Dr IGUDIA on YouTube natural herbs medication are indeed very effective when it comes to Diabetes cure. I have been using his herbal medication and I’m loving my new life again after suffering from type 2 Diabetes for years.
She introduced herself in Dakota, right?
