Indigenous Health Assignment Introduction:

This is a two-part assignment that explores

the past, present and future of Indigenous

health in Canada. You will be required to look

to the past to explore systemic issues that

have created the current state of Indigenous

health in Canada today. You will then have an

opportunity to reflect on your future role as a

nurse and examine how you can be part of the

solution to improve Indigenous health in

Canada in the future.

To develop an evidenced-informed concept

map, you should first educate yourself on

your topic. You will be required to review a

minimum of 3 resources from scholarly peer

Within your concept map, be sure to address

the following questions:

How does this health issue disproportionately

affect indigenous populations, and why?

What are the social determinants of health that impact your health issue?

How has colonization and the history of

Indigenous people and Canada impacted your

health issue (include specifics eg: Treaties,
