Despite global strides made in prevention and treatment, tuberculosis (TB) remains an acute problem for Indigenous people in Canada. TB affects Indigenous communities at significantly higher rates than the general Canadian population, for whom it is a disease of the past. This paper suggests how colonialism and its history of violence have shaped the face of TB in Canada, and thus how TB is a telling point of analysis for considering the lack of equity and equality in healthcare delivery in Canada.
