Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this review is to summarise past Inuit health and wellness studies in Manitoba and the Kivalliq region of Nunavut to provide a snapshot of the types of studies available and identify the gaps in knowledge. Research to date has largely been disease-based and often provides comparisons between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Distinct Inuit experiences are rarely written about from an Inuit perspective. However, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the national organisation of Inuit in Canada, and Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada have been leaders in strengths-based community research and publications that address priorities determined by the Inuit, including the 2018 Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami document National Inuit Strategy on Research (132).
Highlights
The Inuit, an Indigenous group of Canada, comprise about 65,000 of the national population [1]
To code a study strength-based, the research project must be initiated by Inuit, the data collected must be interpreted by Inuit, and/or the study must use empowerment-based approaches within the methods section of the literature
Most arti cles from this review were published in an academic setting by authors who were affiliated with a university
Summary
The Inuit, an Indigenous group of Canada, comprise about 65,000 of the national population [1]. There are four Inuit regions in Canada, and the majority of Inuit live in fifty-three communities in a geographical loca tion that is often referred to by the Canadian Inuktitut term Inuit Nunangat. This term for “homelands” includes land, water, and ice [2]. All Inuit populations despite their country of origin have “significant gaps between their health status and those of broader national populations” [3 p.1]. Inuit in each of these regions share commonalities through cultural knowl edge and language, they remain distinct groups
