Abstract
Strong evidence exists that anti-Indigenous racism is built into the fabric of Canadian society and that it is a determinant of Indigenous peoples' health. Colonial policies that historically de-humanized and dislocated Indigenous peoples in order to open territory for European settlement continue to have a negative impact on Indigenous health status today. A mixed methods study combining data from focus groups, individual interviews, participant observation field notes, and surveys explored the use of community-based theatre as a means to ameliorate racism-based health inequities in Saik'uz territory in Northern British Columbia. The findings suggest that community-based theatre provides an effective means for enhancing trust and building relationships within community, and between the traditionally racially divided communities of Saik'uz and the neighbouring District of Vanderhoof. Relationships of trust are crucial elements that contribute to greater well-being for those living in Saik'uz territory. --Leaf ii. |
