Reflection on Book:Determinants of Indigenous Peoples’ Health in Canada_1
1REFLECTIONWith the reading of the book, Determinants of Indigenous Peoples’ Health in Canada:Beyond the social, I found out that the indigenous people of Canada and the entire world arepopular for a long term of the non- Indigenous scholars, decision makers and health careprofessionals. I could connect to the relation of the mainstream medicine and public health andthe method of the partial determination of social context is in contrary to the lone dictatorship.This particular reliability and grip have come up as a growing body of research as well asliterature which are popular as the social determinants of health. With further reading about the society, the individual and medicine I have learnt that thatthe term ‘aboriginal’ was used in the 1982 Canadian Constitution to assign the first nations, Inuitand Métis people of Canada. As per United Nations, indigenous is related to the explanation ofthe own identified people who used to reside historically in the same land where they arecurrently staying. I found out that among the three groups that have been mentioned earlier thefirst one constitute of 60%, the second in 33% and the last 4%. It is a matter of fact that thebefore the connection was made with the Europeans, the natives used to lead a healthy life. Thisis because they were a vibrant nation residing on the lands and most of them still believed in thenomadic lifestyle. As per the recommended study of ‘identifying white race privilege I discovered that thewhite people’s race privilege in the same nation is based on the previous activities. Most of thewhite people of Australia stay there due to their previous incidents of torture, murder, massacre,poisoning, enslavement or genocide. All these heinous activities were committed against thenative people because of their race. They were the racist acts and these instances can come underthe broad heading of colonization, discrimination, racism and oppression. I was surprised to readin the article that the white race privilege is denied or unearned.
