The Sanala Health Promotion Approach to Kwakwaka'wakw Health, Healing and Wellness
FY 2018-19
Summary
Since 2010, UBC has been partnering with the Namgis First Nation in Alert Bay, British Columbia to focus on developing and implementing culturally-based health promotion initiatives. Our studies have shown that culture, language, celebration and tradition are the key ingredients to health, wellness and healing. In this development grant, we propose expanding the Sanala approach to wellness and health to 4 other North Vancouver Island Kwakwaka'wakw communities. We aim to expand our partnerships and community advisories to create a Kwakwaka'wakw network for a future NEIHR research proposal to test the effectiveness of Nation-based and tailored strategies for addressing health priorities through cultural teachings and strengths-based approaches to healing and wellness.
