Yet, still more can be done at home base, specifically when considering the need for deepening understanding and respect given the presence of diaspora within Canada created by tensions between its Western populations (including select country immigrants pocketed in distinct neighborhoods) and indigenous peoples (also referred to as natives). As Canada seeks to prosper in a global economy, one should hope that its diverse character is optimally utilized to lead by example from a human rights perspective, which gives it a competitive advantage. These factors result in a national identity marked by increasing human diversity, which Canadians are rightly proud of.
This shared vision requires innovative leadership, sustained commitment, and effective partnerships.Ĭanada is marked by cultural multiplicity as a result of its rich history and accommodating immigration policies. Indigenous philosophy can be understood and appreciated through the lenses of various Western theoretical approaches that are constructionist by design, whereby Canadians may get one step closer toward achieving a cross-cultural identity. Balanced well-being is enriched by (i) purpose in individuals’ daily lives through education, employment, caregiving, and cultural ways of being and doing (ii) hope for the future grounded in a sense of core identity, indigenous values, and spirit (iii) a sense of belonging and connectedness with all relations and culture and (iv) understanding and deriving meaning from individual, family, and community lives as part of creation and rich history. Indigenous wellness balances the physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental quadrants of whole health. A comprehensive Continuum Framework guides federal, provincial, and territorial stakeholder efforts toward native wellness, supported by engaging indigenous communities. Historical culture, ways of knowing and language support strength-based approaches, alongside which relational structures-elders, families, communities, creation-play essential roles in native whole health. While responses to native addictions and mental issues are continued priorities, the overarching focus is to recognize the diasporic status of indigenous peoples, to improve native wellness, and to establish cross-cultural identity for all Canadians.
