The Impact of Colonization and Western Assimilation on Health and Wellbeing of Canadian Aboriginal People
Abstract
Colonization and government assimilation (i.e., into mainstream Western society) impacted all aspects of Aboriginal life, including: health, traditional roles, culture, socio-economic conditions, access to services, and equity among others. Consequently, many Canadian Aboriginal people today experience health inequities, loss of tradition and traditional practices, and breakdown of the family unit. To gain an understanding of how to promote equity in health care for Aboriginal people, a critical examination of the root causes of health and healthcare inequities must be considered within historical, economic, and socio-political contexts. The following paper uses a post-colonial feminist theoretical perspective to situate inequities in Aboriginal people's lives and health by focusing on the impact of colonization and assimilation on Aboriginal people.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
