SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: This Aboriginal and community-based, participatory research project aims to co-create knowledge about the holistic (emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual) benefits to Indigenous youth of participating in northern games, and to identify factors that might be modified to maximize positive holistic outcomes for Indigenous youth. We will recruit a purposeful and convenient sample (as described by Patton,
2002) of 50 participants: 30 Indigenous youth between the ages of 15 and 24 years (consistent with Statistics Canada’s definition of youth), 10 parents/guardians, 5 coaches, and 5 Elders living in Inuvik, NT with experience of northern games. The perspectives of Indigenous peoples are underrepresented in the sport research literature, and it is critical to ensure that sport research more readily acknowledges the encompassing view of sport held by many Indigenous peoples. Research results will address a clear knowledge gap in the sport literature and will support government and non-government organizations in their endeavours to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada Calls to Action (#87-91). -
