This session will delve into cultural safety considerations in this time of pandemic. Harley Eagle will speak to how his work has shifted in the last few weeks to bring Cultural Safety considerations to health care providers, primarily physicians, in rural and remote settings as they struggle to deal with the COVID 19 crisis. In this time of crisis now is the time to look to cultural safety processes in working with Indigenous people which can then inform how we can better equip medical professionals to cultivate a trauma-informed practice that better supports Indigenous people through medical crises in a culturally safe way. Harley well supply a connection to the colonial history and current realties that may be the root of triggering for Indigenous Peoples and communities. He will also speak to the power of broadening the scope of Cultural Safety learning beyond healthcare and what that might mean for the over-all journey of reconciliation.
