Learning from Eco-social Approaches to Public Health
Tannis is a First Nations Traditional Knowledge Holder from the Stellat’en First Nation. As a traditional knowledge holder, it is important to share Indigenous knowledge with the group and collectively work to secure understanding of different perspectives in our research. Being raised by my mother’s family and mainly my grandmother helps through my own knowledge to understand the importance of including Indigenous perspectives in all activities. Indigenous students deserve to have their culture as a part of learning and Indigenous communities deserve to be involved in the work that happens in their traditional territory. It is important to advocate for the solidification of Indigenous knowledge as a teaching tool for all ages as we learn from Indigenous peoples to respect the water and land that connects us all to health and healing. Everyone needs to be part of the process in working to reach our goals as we move toward a positive and productive future.
