Indigenous and Northern Lens on Communication in Serious Illness

Context is very important in healthcare. In this episode, we explore the context created at the intersection of geography, history, language, culture, and healthcare resources when Indigenous people in Canada’s far north require care for serious illness. Our guest, Lianne Mantla-Look, is a Registered Nurse currently living and working in northern Canada. She has worked extensively in clinical roles both in hospital and community settings. Lianne works fluently in both her Indigenous language, Tłı̨chǫ, and English. In a wide-ranging conversation, Lianne shares her knowledge, reflections, and healthcare experience from her perspective as a nurse and an Indigenous person living in the Northwest Territories.
