In her talk at the WCHC Hub, Dr. JoLee Sasakamoose, a member of M'Chigeeng First Nation and CIHR Research Chair in Indigenous Wellness and Health Equity at the University of Regina, emphasized the integration of traditional Indigenous knowledge with healthcare practices through the Cultural Responsiveness Framework (CRF). Co-created with input from 74 First Nations communities in Saskatchewan, the CRF was developed into a theory by Dr. Sasakamoose to guide Indigenous approaches to health and reduce health inequities. It advocates for restoring First Nations health systems while transforming healthcare delivery to be culturally responsive, fostering reconciliation through a "middle ground" where Indigenous and Western methodologies harmonize. Dr. Sasakamoose highlighted the alarmingly high HIV and STBBI rates in Saskatchewan and stressed the urgent need for trauma-informed, culturally safe care models like the CRF. She called for the harmonization of Indigenous and Western medical approaches, efforts to combat stigma, the creation of culturally respectful healthcare environments, and the involvement of Indigenous communities in evaluating health programs. Her presentation was a compelling call for systemic change, emphasizing community-driven, culturally grounded solutions to improve health outcomes and equity.
