Canada's struggle to provide health care to northern communities
Canada is struggling to provide health care to northern communities, according to one doctor who travels monthly to provide his services.

Indigenous health care in Canada
With respect to health care for First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation, the federal, provincial and territorial levels share some degree of jurisdiction. The Canadian health system is a complex patchwork of policies, legislation and relationships. Indigenous Peoples, including First Nations, Inuit and Métis, are included in the per capita allocations of funding from the federal fiscal transfer and are entitled to access insured provincial and territorial health services as residents of a province or territory.

Indigenous Populations and Vulnerability. Characterizing Vulnerability in a Sami Context
Indigenous Populations and Vulnerability. Characterizing Vulnerability in a Sami Context
Les peuples indigènes font partie des populations les plus vulnérables à l’heure actuelle. Ils ont en partage l’expérience de la colonisation et ses sévères conséquences. À l’échelle historique, des milliers de cultures indigènes ont cessé d’exister. Cet article analyse les facteurs qui, hier comme aujourd’hui, ont rendu vulnérable un peuple comme les Sami suédois. Jusqu’au début du xxe siècle, les Sami (Lapons) formaient jusqu’à un certain point une population démographiquement vulnérable. La mortalité infantile et enfantine était effrayante, même si la crainte de l’extinction, largement partagée par les scientifiques suédois jusqu’aux années 1940, ne fut jamais trop fondée. Aujourd’hui les Sami ne sont pas aux bords de l’extinction, mais il y a toujours des éléments, fruits des événements historiques, qui contribuent à les rendre plus vulnérables que la majeure partie de la population suédoise. Les Sami ont été réduits du fait de perturbations démographiques, socio-économiques, culturelles et politiques. Nous soutenons l’idée selon laquelle la vulnérabilité passée, présente et future des Sami implique des changements sur de multiples plans : les statistiques, la langue, l’économie traditionnelle, la religion, le déplacement territorial et la mise en réserve, la diversité culturelle, le système éducatif, le refus du droit à l’autodétermination culturelle et politique. Tous ces facteurs jouent un rôle important lorsqu’il s’agit de contextualiser la vulnérabilité indigène, et devraient être pris en compte dans l’étude de cette dernière.
