In the past and in the present, research studies and media reports have focused on pathology and dysfunction in aboriginal communities and have often failed to present a true and complete picture of the aboriginal experience. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health is a national strategic research initiative led by both the aboriginal and research communities. This initiative aims to improve aboriginal health information, develop research capacity, better translate research into practice, and inform public health policy with the goal of improving the health of indigenous peoples.
过去和现在，研究和媒体报道都聚焦于原住民社区的病理学和功能障碍，却常常未能展现出原住民经历的真实全貌。加拿大卫生研究院原住民健康研究所是一项由原住民社区和研究界共同牵头的全国性战略研究倡议。该倡议旨在改善原住民健康信息，培养研究能力，更好地将研究转化为实践，并为公共卫生政策提供信息，目标是改善原住民的健康状况。
