Striking health inequities exist between Aboriginal Peoples and non-Aboriginal groups. At CRICH, and in partnership with First Nations, Indian, Inuit, Métis, and international Indigenous organizations and governing groups, we conduct research to help enhance the cultural relevance and scientific excellence of Indigenous health and health-related services, programs, and policies. Our goal is to actively and measurably contribute to the health and well-being of urban Aboriginal individuals, families, communities, and Nations. |
