Wabanaki-Labrador Indigenous Health Research Network
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.
Network Objectives
Shift the balance of power in the research relationship from academic institutions to Indigenous community-led decision-making;
Enhance capacity for undertaking meaningful, relevant and respectful Indigenous health research;
Support communities to address their health research priorities and implementation strategies through top-tier research and research capacity-building; and,
Share the experiences of the network widely and foster its sustainability.
