Chelsey Perry, Kirsten White - COVID-19 360°Review: A Path to Addressing Colonial Knots in Public Health Emergency Response

In Plain Sight Recommendation 15 (IPS 15) calls for developing an Indigenous pandemic response plan that addresses jurisdictional issues that have arisen in the context of COVID-19, and which upholds UNDRIP. To support this, the U&U Lab reviewed the Office of the Public Health Officer’s COVID-19 pandemic response through the lens of Indigenous rights, reconciliation, and anti-racism. Using Jody Wilson-Raybould’s Learn-Understand-Act Framework for True Reconciliation, we identified 9 high level colonial knots that must be addressed to advance IPS 15. Our findings also provide insights into upholding Indigenous rights, reconciliation, and anti-racism in the current Toxic Drug Poisoning Crisis.
