A study that examined perceived barriers to health care access for urban Indigenous people revealed that the three most frequently reported barriers were: substandard quality of care; long wait times; and experiences of racism and discrimination. These barriers, some of which are common complaints among the general population in Canada, were interpreted by participants in unique ways rooted in experiences of discrimination
and exclusion that stem from the settler colonial context of the nation. Through the lenses of cultural safety and ethical space – frameworks developed by international Indigenous scholars in efforts to better understand and improve relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the context of settler colonialism – this study offers an understanding of these barriers in light of the specific ways that colonialism intrudes into Indigenous clients’ access to care on an everyday basis.
