Ongoing injustices perpetrated by colonization and racism have resulted in a disproportionate burden of health disparities among Indigenous peoples, with youth being particularly vulnerable. However, very little is known about the health experiences of Indigenous youth, particularly how they understand and interpret such experiences. In collaboration with an Indigenous-led youth program, this research explored the relationship between social support and health among a unique group of Indigenous youth living in Winnipeg, Canada. Through Photovoice, youth revealed how residential mobility and racism negatively influenced the types of social support and relationships formed, and called for improved access to health-promoting social programs.
殖民主义和种族主义造成的持续不公正现象，导致原住民群体在健康差异方面承受了不成比例的负担，而青年群体尤其脆弱。然而，对于原住民青年的健康经历，特别是他们如何理解和解释这些经历，人们知之甚少。本研究与一个原住民青年领导的项目合作，探索了加拿大温尼伯一群独特的原住民青年的社会支持与健康之间的关系。通过摄影展，青年们揭示了居住流动性和种族主义如何对社会支持的类型和形成的关系产生负面影响，并呼吁改善获得促进健康的社会项目的机会。
