   This nursing and allied health textbook for Canadian students delves into the main health concerns of Indigenous communities and ways to enhance their overall well-being. The second edition acknowledges a noteworthy shift since the first edition release: a growing agreement among Indigenous groups regarding the link between their health and environmental influences, both physical and philosophical. This content illustrates the unique characteristics of Indigenous approaches to well-being and the rationale behind studying it as a separate area. It offers a guidance for professionals to approach Indigenous patients in a manner that appreciates the patient’s perspective while upholding a professional stance.

   Based on the principles of cultural sensitivity, competency, and safety, accompanied by practical insights, the book merges historical, social, and clinical aspects highlighted by real-world examples and pertinent case studies.
