In this field, Indigenous health issues will be examined from multiple perspectives and worldviews. The focus of this degree is to prioritize First Nations, Inuit and Métis knowledges, pedagogies, theories, and frameworks for teaching, learning, and research. Beginning with land-based learning, traditional teachings, interaction with Elders and Knowledge Keepers and transitioning into community engagement and allyship permeate the program. Students will gain a broad public health knowledge base with specific expertise in Indigenous health issues pertaining to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities in Canada. This is a professional (non-thesis) graduate program that prepares students to enter a wide range of careers in community, government, policy, research, industry, and academia. The program was created for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students who wish to work in the area of First Nations, Inuit and Métis health and public health.
