In telling the story of "Nurses working for respect, fairness and social justice for First Nations, Inuit and Métis," The Canadian Museum of Human Rights details the relationship that has developed between Honorary Professor Madeleine Dion Stout and Professor Annette Browne. Their collaboration has resulted in groundbreaking research into equitable health care practices over the span of decades.
Among their collaborations, Annette and Madeleine have explored the effects of inequities in health care, drawing from the Cree concept of nahi, or fairness. In particular, they have embraced Call to Action 22 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, which calls for the Canadian health care system to value Indigenous healing practices and use them in the treatment of First Nations, Inuit and Métis patients, in collaboration with Elders and healers.
