FIGHTING for a HAND to HOLD: Confronting Medical Colonialism Against Indigenous Children in Canada
This session will explain how the #aHand2Hold campaign exposed medical colonialism and anti-Indigenous systemic racism in pediatric healthcare, will reflect on what the experiences of Makayla Sault and her family revealed about the Canadian healthcare system, will show how a dominant “culture” can normalize oppression in healthcare and child welfare services by placing the medical establishment in historical, social and political context, and will explore the importance for healthcare providers to support decolonization initiatives, including in the field of pediatrics.
