Bringing Life to Liver Wellness Through Wisdom Seeking Conversations: Conceptualizations of Liver Health with Indigenous Communities
FY 2021-22
Summary
Hepatitis C is a viral blood borne infection also classified as a Sexually Transmitted Blood Borne Infection or STBBI that is both preventable and treatable. Without screening and treatment this virus leads to liver inflammation and liver cancer causing more life years lost than any other infectious disease in Canada. Rising rates within Indigenous communities across Canada show the current scientific or biomedical approaches are not sufficiently impacting awareness within this demographic. When the focus of research process is on relationship, respect and reciprocity alongside Indigenous Ways of Knowing this shapes a Wisdom Seeking perspective within Two-Eyed Seeing to create a culturally relevant opportunity for impact on liver wellness and STBBI awareness. Conversational interviews with Indigenous Knowledge Holders from across the province shape the wellness perspective storyline in creating a DocuStory short video, widely shared to increase awareness of the importance of liver health, hepatitis C Screening and treatment follow through.

Abstract
Hepatitis C is a viral blood borne infection also classified as a Sexually Transmitted Blood Borne Infection or STBBI that is both preventable and treatable. Without screening and treatment this virus leads to liver inflammation and liver cancer causing more life years lost than any other infectious disease in Canada. Rising rates within Indigenous communities across Canada show the current scientific or biomedical approaches are not sufficiently impacting awareness within this demographic. When the focus of research process is on relationship, respect and reciprocity alongside Indigenous Ways of Knowing this shapes a Wisdom Seeking perspective within Two-Eyed Seeing to create a culturally relevant opportunity for impact on liver wellness and STBBI awareness. Conversational interviews with Indigenous Knowledge Holders from across the province shape the wellness perspective storyline in creating a DocuStory short video, widely shared to increase awareness of the importance of liver health, hepatitis C Screening and treatment follow through.
