| Abstract: | 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. |
