- Title
Introduction to special section: Geographies of Indigenous health and wellness.
- Authors
Richmond, Chantelle; Nightingale, Elana
- Abstract
The geographies of Indigenous health and wellness are an area of scholarship focused on the unique relationships between the health and wellness of Indigenous people and their connections to their socio-political, cultural, and physical geographies (Richmond and Big-Canoe 2018). Shifting to the Mexican context, Day et al. (2021) share empirical results from a community-based study on the health implications of industrial agriculture for the Nahuas community in Jalisco state. Drawing on critical Indigenous theory and Indigenous community resurgence, the authors conclude that Indigenous-led health organizations critically support cultural safety and counteract racism in healthcare environments, while also playing a key role in urban placemaking by fostering networks of relationships. Mining sick: Creatively unsettling normative narratives about industry, environment, extraction, and the health geographies of rural, remote, northern, and Indigenous communities in British Columbia.
