Abstract:

The challenges northern remote communities in Canada face acquiring regular access to affordable and healthy food have been well documented. Our Indigenous Health Research Group, made up of an informal network of researchers from universities across Canada, has partnered with northern communities, Tribal Councils, and Political organizations (Assembly of First Nations, Nishnawbe Aski Nation) in Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and Ontario since 2004 to document and support local land-based food strategies to increase local food capacity. While much of this work has focused on supporting traditional food harvesting efforts, many community partners are seeking to develop small-scale gardening to increase access to fresh fruit and vegetables. As part of a five-year project supporting local food initiatives in four communities in northern Canada (Northwest Territories and northern Ontario), we worked with the Moose Cree First Nation in Moose Factory, Ontario and their local Food Developer to support food sustainability planning. The research presented in this article describes collaborative efforts between Moose Cree First Nation Band Council leadership, community members, and our research group in support of local garden development as part of their local food sustainability strategy. With the guidance and engagement of community, we worked with families in Moose Factory to build and plant family-centered gardens. The article focuses on start-up engagement strategies, garden uptake, garden construction and planting activities, garden yields, and individual feedback from gardeners describing their experiences with the project.

Abstract:

<p>Objective: Non-medical prescription opioid use (NMPOU) is a major health problem in North America and increasingly prevalent among First Nations people. More than 50% of many Nishnawbe Aski Nation communities in northern Ontario report NMPOU, resulting in extensive health and social problems. Opioid substitution therapy (OST) is the most effective treatment for opioid dependence yet is unavailable in remote First Nations communities. Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) specifically has reasonably good treatment outcomes for prescription opioid (PO) dependence. A pilot study examining the feasibility and outcomes of a community-based Suboxone taper-to-low-dose-maintenance program for PO-dependent adults was conducted in a small NAN community as a treatment option for this particular setting.</p><p>Design: Participants (N = 22, ages 16–48 years) were gradually stabilized on and tapered off Suboxone (provided on an outpatient and directly-observed basis) over a 30-day period. Low dose maintenance was offered post-taper to patients with continued craving and relapse risk; community-based aftercare was provided to all participants. Results: Of 22 participants, 21 (95%) completed the taper phase of the program. Fifteen (88%) of 17 participants tested by urine toxicology screening had no evidence of PO use on day 30. No adverse side effects were observed. All but one of the taper completers were continued on low-dose maintenance. Conclusion: Community-based Suboxone taper-to-low-dose-maintenance is feasible and effective as an initial treatment for PO-dependence in remote First Nations populations, although abstinence is difficult to achieve and longer term maintenance may be required. More research on OST for First Nations people is needed; existing OST options, however, should be made available to First Nations communities given the acute need for treatment.</p>

Abstract:

Abstract Background The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, emerged in December 2019. Shortly after, vaccines against the virus were distributed in Canada for public use, but the remoteness of many northern Indigenous communities in Ontario posed a challenge for vaccine distribution and dissemination. The Ministry of Health partnered with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University (NOSMU) and the air ambulance service, Ornge, to assist in delivering the vaccination doses to 31 fly-in communities in the Nishnawbe Aski Nation and Moosonee, all within Ontario. These deployments were considered “service-learning electives” for Undergraduate and Postgraduate medical learners from NOSMU who joined the operation in two-week deployments. NOSMU is renowned for its social accountability mandate and gives its medical learners opportunities to participate in service-learning to enhance their medical skills and cultural sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between social accountability and medical learners’ experiences during a service-learning elective in northern Indigenous communities in Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Data were collected through a planned post-placement activity completed by eighteen Undergraduate and Postgraduate medical learners, who participated in the vaccine deployment. The activity consisted of a 500-word reflective response passage. Thematic analysis was used to identify, analyze, and report the themes within the collected data. Results Two themes were identified by the authors, which formed a concise overview of the collected data: (1) confronting the realities of working in Indigenous communities; and (2) service-learning as a path to social accountability. Conclusions These vaccine deployments were an opportunity for medical learners to engage in service-learning and engage with Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario. Service-learning is an exceptional method which provides an opportunity to expand knowledge on the social determinants of health, social justice, and social accountability. The medical learners in this study reiterated the idea that learning medicine through a service-learning model leads to a greater depth of knowledge on Indigenous health and culture, and enhances medical knowledge compared to classroom learning.

Abstract:

At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was believed that Indigenous peoples in Canada would be disproportionately affected due to inequities across social determinants of health as a result of the ongoing processes of colonization. High levels of overcrowding, higher burden of chronic disease, reduced access to clean drinking water, healthcare, and food security in many rural and remote First Nations across northern Canada increased vulnerability to COVID-19. In the Nishnawbe Aski Region of northern Ontario, data from the Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority indicates that First Nations communities were able to limit COVID -19 infection and had an overall fatality rate that was lower than the general Canadian population. The focus of this research was to analyze public health data, media reports, and research to determine how the pandemic impacted First Nations throughout northern Ontario. The research highlights that as a direct result of rapid and strength-based responses, First Nations in Northern Ontario have managed the pandemic with limited serious illness, hospitalizations, and fatalities.

Abstract:

This is a cross-cultural study of Indigenous legal traditions in Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN), a political territorial organization in northern Ontario. By analyzing NAN’s resolutions (passed by NAN Chiefs-in-Assembly to direct NAN’s mandate), I identify legal principles. As law arises from worldviews, law’s function is to protect the values of that worldview. This study discusses two values (creation and interdependence) as analytic tools, used to recognise legal principles. Context grounds the conclusions, as they relate to specific people and land. Four legal principles are identified: earthbound need, sacred/natural supremacy, gifted responsibility and relational jurisdiction. These principles together reveal that law in NAN is focused on the protection of life. Overarching the results is a broader purpose, to take up the educative work previously shouldered by NAN alone. The duty to learn is more than political obligation, but as I argue, is a matter of life itself.
