Principles and Values
This page lists reports and resources that describe the principles and values that should underlie any attempts to refine school health promotion in a more culturally relevant manner.
CIHR and the Institute for Aboriginal Peoples’ Health have created the CIHR Guidelines for Health Research Involving Aboriginal People. These comprehensive guidelines are to assist researchers and institutions in carrying out ethical and culturally competent research involving Aboriginal people. The intent is to promote health through research that is in keeping with Aboriginal values and traditions.
The First Nations Centre at the National Aboriginal Health Organization recognized the need for Aboriginal people to protect all information concerning themselves, their traditional knowledge and culture, including information resulting from research. The Centre laid out the principles of Ownership Control Access and Possession (OCAP) to enable self-determination over all research concerning First Nations. It offers a way for First Nations to make decisions regarding what research will be done, for what purpose information or data will be used, where the information will be physically stored and who will have access. OCAP has been was sanctioned by the First Nations Information Governance Committee (FNIGC) and the First Nations Regional Longitudinal Health Survey (RHS) and is in wide use today.
Report: Redefinig how success is measured in First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Learning (October 2007)
From the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) and its Aboriginal Learning Knowledge Centre, in partnership with Aboriginal organizations in Canada. This report outlines an innovative approach to measuring Aboriginal learning—one that should lead to more effective lifelong learning and contribute to a higher quality of life for Aboriginal Peoples across Canada. It provides
- background on key issues in aboriginal learning
- orientation to strengths-based approach and the need for aboriginal ownership and control of data
- overview of promising practices
- three holistic lifelong learning models, which include access to aboriginal history and programming in schools, interaction with extended family and intergenerational learning, outdoor programs on traditional knowledge and practices related to land and community.
Landscapes of Indigenous Health (From the National Collaborating Centre on Aboriginal Health)
This report provides a comprehensive picture of existing knowledge and current directions in Indigenous peoples’ health research and priorities in Canada. This work also identifies gaps and shortfalls in research and data that might require attention. The document, completed in 2007, assessed 649 peer-reviewed documents and 242 reports, studies and discussion papers published since 2001 by Aboriginal organizations, federal and provincial governments, health regions, professional organizations, and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The scan also assessed 243 projects undertaken by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)that were devoted to the study of Aboriginal health. Together, these assessments pointed to key themes in the field.
