The Wabanaki-Labrador Indigenous Health Research Network is a diverse, dynamic, interdisciplinary, and inclusive collaboration of Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik, Inuit, Innu, and Passamaquoddy community members, organizations, health professionals, students, academics, traditional healers and allies from the four provinces of Atlantic Canada – Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Our vision, with the leadership of Indigenous communities, is to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples within the Atlantic region using evidence informed solutions that address community-identified priorities.
The IndigeLab Network focuses on how Indigenous-led research collectives work and make change. We support one another in the usually behind-the-scenes knowledges and methods of bringing Indigenous methodologies and theories of change into the social worlds of labs, studios, portfolios, centres, and other research collectives, especially when they are based in colonial institutions.
