Cultural safety in knowledge exchange: Supporting dissemination activities for the FNHA Guest Edition of the International Journal of Indigenous Health

In 2019, the FNHA partnered with the International Journal of Indigenous Health to release a special Guest Edition titled "Health Systems Innovation: Privileging Indigenous Knowledge, Ensuring Respectful Care, and Ending Racism towards First Nations in Service Delivery.” This proposal describes a series of knowledge translation (KT) activities that will bring wider awareness to the edition and will result in a timely and relevant KT tool. Through a Virtual Launch of the FNHA Guest Edition, we will showcase the range of submissions by Indigenous researchers and allied collaborators and engage in dialogue about how to best translate this information so that it is relevant and useful for Indigenous people and communities. Armed with insight about how to best translate and disseminate the FNHA Guest Edition, we will collaborate with Indigenous creatives (for example artists, filmmakers or digital storytellers) to develop and disseminate a KT tool for building capacity in community. By engaging in community-defined KT, we help to ensure that the findings and knowledge assembled within the Guest Edition are appropriately translated and will be of value to Indigenous people and communities.
