Indigenous experience, heart disease and stroke
Release Date: 05/16/2023
Authors: [email protected] (Heart And Stroke Foundation of Canada )
Description: In Canada, Indigenous populations are at higher risk for heart disease and stroke, and often have less access to health care as well as information about their risks and how to manage them. The systemic racism that has historically impacted Indigenous communities has trickle-down effects, and Indigenous people still face access barriers to healthcare today. In this episode, we hear the story of Lynne Marie Sherry, with the help of her daughter Shawnee Kish. After Lynne’s high blood pressure went largely untreated, she experienced a devastating stroke. While recovering, she was unable to access the traditional spiritual care she needed. Dr. Bernice Downey, a medical anthropologist and Indigenous Health Lead in the Faculty of Health Science at McMaster University, discusses the larger systemic issues facing Indigenous communities in the healthcare system. And she finds hope in the ways that Indigenous communities are working together to reclaim their own health and well-being.

What is the Indigenous Data Network?
Release Date: 06/29/2021
Description: The Indigenous Data Network (IDN) promotes the access and sharing of data within Indigenous organisations, enabling them to manage and utilise data in more sustainable ways. Our host, Sarah Butler, discusses with Darren Clinch (National Coordinator) and James Rose (Data Analytics Coordinator) of IDN, about ways in which they are working with data and geospatial technology to empower Indigenous organisations and communities. Darren shares with listeners some recent work in using health data to synthesise patterns and behviours in the Indigenous population’s access to our public health system, enabling better reporting on Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Collectively the speakers chat about the future of data visualisation; what social and cultural impacts they hope to achieve with this technology in coming years. If you are keen to learn about the way data sovereignty affects Indigenous organisations and how geospatial technology can be utilised to provide insightful visualisations, take a listen to this episode.
