Circles of health sharing our gifts

Summary: "Inequalities in indigenous health, from life expectancy to child mortality, cannot be understood in medical terms alone. In Canada and internationally, discussion is now addressing issues such as self-determination, language, culture, equity, the environment and marginalization. These broader factors are together known as the social determinants of health. Research is beginning to show that where health systems address Indigenous cultures, values and preferences, health outcomes are improved."--DVD cover
