Article - Turtle Island Journal of Indigenous Health

This paper argues that understanding more about epistemologies of power will help illuminate a pathway by which Indigenous Peoples and Canadians of settler ancestry can better understand one another, creating the shift in these relationships that is required in order to gather large-scale support for reconciliation and for ethical distribution of power resources in Canada.
