Mitakuye Oyasin - We Are All Related. Such a simple and powerful statement that is often forgotten in such a divided and politicized society. Marcia directly acknowledges this shortfall in our healthcare system when she states, “[The Western medical system] doesn’t help indigenous peoples when the healthcare system doesn’t meet their needs either because they can’t get into the system, or when they do, they are treated as less than fully human by a system built on a concept of health and healing that was privileged over their own.” As physicians, I feel that it is worthy to take a step back and reflect upon the Hippocratic Oath, which every physician takes upon graduating medical school, that guides our practice. The Oath states, “I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.” It should go without saying that it is morally and ethically wrong for healthcare professionals to discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity. General moral duties obligate health professionals to provide equal care and consideration to each patient, despite their racial, cultural, or ethnic background. At the core of who we are as healthcare providers, we must remain conscious that we are all human, no matter ethnic or racial background of our patients, and provide care to them with the respect and dignity that they rightfully deserve.
I watched this a day after the arrests at the Wetswetin blockade. It's important to me to educate myself on the lies and pain that my people have committed in the over 200 years my ancestors have been on the continent. Thank you for this.
I’m a psychology student after over ten years inside of a federal prison. Now I’m trying to give back to my community instead of destroying it, through cycling of intergenerational trauma.
I totally agree kindness is missing in our health care and a lot of it stems from medical school interviews where kindness is not assessed due to the lack of quantitative objective measure of evaluation
Powerful, Informative and all round brilliant!!!!! More people like you please Marcia. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi o Gymru (Sending thanks to you from Wales). We all need to keep sharing such knowledge and opening peoples eyes to the racism and prejudice!!!!
It appears that some people in the comments really are not paying attention to what is being said there. Instead, they are trying to diminish her impact and teaching of her, and others like her, experience with racism in the Canadian healthcare system.
i am a man from the sucker clan my mother is hurt and my father is in pain ,these are their names. My name is: fit the description.thats my indian name ,but strong and watching.the first time i realized that i was different is when a vice principal slammed my head in a locker ,oh yeah i grew up in east kildonan in the 1980s ,i am a registered member of gardin hill .i have been beat by police and busted up 12 times since 1993 not tickled with feathers but broken down bones , heart and spirit . ive been left for dead three times in the winnipeg remand centre ,the last time really left mark , but i feel for the ones that think that they understand and tell there story about all of us .because you women forget that us men are getting put in jail for charges that dont deserve to be taken away , i know cause i fit the description of the subject that is the one they want to drag down! from: fit the description .
Anyone know of the United States "equivalent" of this talk??? Or even something more comprehensive about all underserved people in the US healthcare system? I am starting a training for my family medicine practice in the US. I love this video in particular because we too hire people with their kindness as a priority....and it is our mission.
Hi this sound formuler about indigenous health gabs i know all about it thanks for positive on this subject matter i know it alot of racism it not good out come indigenous people everywhere it not just me good luck with everything
I am so sorry for this ..I think something far darker was going on ..I am sorry that we never heard this or fought for you guys ..There is a big change happening Praise the Lord for His unveiling of truth ..I believe True Justice is coming…Human life matters..Your people have been targeted and it’s unexceptional ..
Is there away to stop the subtitles ....? PLEASE ..they are inacurate and really unsettling as a result....please take down the inncorrect subtitles ..
Teachings: Determination,Diet and motivation. Setting personal goals and start moving. Why do people make it about racism??.. death by a urinary tract infection sounds like uncontrolled diabetes and late medical help. If everyone took control of their personal health care..our A1Cs would improve and decrease cost of healthcare.
The data is clear that Indigenous people get a measurably poorer service from the health care system than other patients. They are offered less access to medicines and receive significantly poorer advice and support. The evidence is actually quite clear.
I don't know, she is talking about racism being the cause of poor health, diabetes, etc. Meanwhile she is slightly overweight, at a level that is certainly high enough to cause diabetes. I think education and self control is an issue there. They have similar issues in Fiji where the native locals are a majority. Poor education on diet, etc has resulted in very high rates of obesity. They eat themselves to death, and ignorance is the only cause. Stop trying to blame something like that on everyone else. Take care of yourselves and take responsibility.
I just want to point out that being over weight doesn't always mean there's an issue with self control. I am over weight and I barely eat. I have family member's who have thyroid diseases which cause them to retain weight. We should not be so judgmental towards people we know nothing about. I agree that we need to educate people about making good health choices. I also want to point out that most people eat what is available to them because it's their only choice. We can't scold someone for filling up on rice if rice is the only option they have. ijs
There exist socio-economic determinants of health beyond a person's control. The ones named by Dr. Anderson-DeCoteau in this video at 2:25 are "the entrenchment of poverty", "chronic underfunding of education and child welfare", and "inadequate, overcrowded housing", all of which disproportionately affect racialized communities. It's been a year since you posted your original comment. I hope in that year you have learned to recognize the luxury that is "taking care of yourself". You have a choice to say No to food. You have a choice to maintain a certain lifestyle. You have a choice where many people have none.
I hope you will watch this video again, systemic racism, oppression, colonization, residential schools are key words. Humility, kindness, love goes a long way in taking care of each other. And please ask her how she feels and listen to her before narrating her life, health and wellbeing from your point of view. Anyways, we are all learning together.

More people need to watch this. Thank you for talking about this and doing something about it👍
How beneficial to everyone in Canada would it be for us to all have access to Indigenous Health Practices!!! Amazing!!
I watched this a day after the arrests at the Wetswetin blockade. It's important to me to educate myself on the lies and pain that my people have committed in the over 200 years my ancestors have been on the continent. Thank you for this.
There are no words for how meaningful your comment is to me. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts.

There are different ways of knowing. The test of knowledge is the results it yields.

Hello
Is there away to stop the subtitles ....? PLEASE ..they are inacurate and really unsettling as a result....please take down the inncorrect subtitles ..
Defeat at the hands of a superior force with superior weaponry does also decimate intergenerationally, understandably. The symptoms are there
Entrenchment of poverty, chronic underfunding of education systems for indigenous children
Seriously ..wow the subtitles are actually insulting in their mid translation...BRUTAL ...TH-cam ! STEP UP AND "STOP "this immediately🙄😔
Just turned them on. WOW.
Health tip number 1: petrol is not good for the human body...now this is some real aboriginal knowledge right here
