ABSTRACT

Title:Community participation in health and wellness planning in an Indigenous context, understanding the colonial legacy through transactionalism

In an era of Truth, Reconciliation, and Calls to Action founded on “joint leadership, trust-building, and transparency” between non-Indigenous and Indigenous Peoples,1Indigenous community participation in the design and implementation of health and social programs represents a growing challenge for many Canadian public-sector institutions. The Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay (CBHSSJB) is currently responding to this challenge through the development of structures and processes for engaging with remote Cree communities for health and wellness planning. This planning initiative is referred to both regionally and locally as the Iiyuu Ahtaawin Miyupimaatisiiun (Cree community wellness) Planning (IAMP) initiative.

In 2015, the CBHSSJB and VRƵ began partnering to conduct a developmental and participatory evaluation of the IAMP initiative at the institutional, regional, and community levels.Based on an earlier component of the evaluation—a key informant study among CBHSSJB staff—and current work at the community level, this presentation will explore and discuss perspectives on contextual challenges, aims, and ways forward for supporting Cree community participation in health and wellness planning. These perspectives include shared concerns regarding collaboration, communication, cultural adaptation and safety in health care, as well as contrasting views between non-Cree and Cree participants with respect to certain issues and priorities for achieving community participation. Among other, Cree participants identify how ongoing effects of colonization challenge both individual and collective capacity for community participation and require process-oriented and relational approaches for supporting local empowerment. A transactional perspective supports the recognition of history as contributive to the context of Indigenous community participation and co-constitutive of individual and collective meanings and action.
