Azimuth World Foundation - Connecting the DotsConnecting the Dots with NICOLE REDVERSThe COVID-19 pandemic has brought Public Health to the forefront of our concerns for the 21st century and showed us how justice, politics, economics, education, and every sphere of our lives is inextricably linked to Public Health. The way Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities were disproportionately affected during the pandemic is a tragic example of this. Their exclusion from strategic decision-making and lack of access to healthcare services aggravated pre-existing structural inequalities. Now, more than ever, recognizing these inequities in Indigenous Health can help us reflect on the broader issues of Human Rights, sovereignty, sustainability and the fundamental role...

They tend to embrace a holistic perspective, knowing that we are more than the sum of our parts, and that health is impacted by so much more than physiology. That said, modern medicine still has much to offer, but so does Indigenous medicine. Today, we...
