Introduction: Improving Indigenous health in Canada means understanding reconciliation as it is presented through an Indigenous lens. Storytelling is a way that many Indigenous peoples pass on history, traditions, knowledge, and wisdom from one generation to another. Truth and Reconciliation

content presented in children's fictional works by Indigenous authors can provide an accessible starting point for anyone wishing to build awareness and cultural competence in Indigenous health. This paper is Part 2 of a two-part study addressing residential school experiences and the reconciliation

process as they appear in children's books authored by Canadian Indigenous peoples. Methods: The Amazon 100 Bestseller Canadian Indigenous Story Books list was sampled over a seven week period; additional titles were gathered from publishers, academic and public library book lists. Books were screened

The University of Alberta Libraries (UAL), along with eleven other institutions across Turtle Island / North America and Hawai’i, participated in a research project to explore the research practices and needs of scholars in Indigenous Studies with a view to improving library services. The UAL

research team conducted semi-structured interviews with thirteen faculty members and graduate students in the Faculty of Native Studies and other faculties, providing for diversity in areas of research and career stages. Indigenous and mainstream research methodologies were used in the study. Relationships

The University of Alberta (UA) is the home to North America's first and only Faculty of Native Studies. Campus members and the community are proud of the innovative research, teaching, and service done by Indigenous researchers and students on our campus. UA's library leadership team has tasked the

library's Research Impact Team (RIT) to provide equitable support across campus. However, RIT has struggled with how we can provide meaningful support to the Faculty of Native Studies and to the large number of Indigenous researchers working on our campus. Much of this constraint comes from having a service

assess Indigenous research and to build a relationship between RIT and Indigenous scholars. This presentation will outline our work in this area, which to date includes: Collaborating with the UA's Indigenous Initiatives Office, the Faculty of Native Studies, and the library's Indigenous Initiatives

This presentation describes a project to create first-generation search filters that retrieve studies from the Ovid MEDLINE database related to Canadian Indigenous Peoples. The filters are designed to be single line searchs that can be “cut and paste” into the OVID Medline search box.

conducting systematic review searches, searchers are required to be as comprehensive as possible, which means that all relevant subject databases must be searched, even if overlap is substantial. As a result, Medline must be searched as part of any systematic review search related to Indigenous health

Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) published 94 Calls to Action designed to continue the national work of reconciliation related to the legacy of Indigenous residential schools, including those in Canada's North. This process is difficult and complex. Because story telling is a

traditional Indigenous way of communicating knowledge and wisdom, this study is designed to explore how TRC themes and concepts are being communicated through children's fiction (pre readers to young adult) by Canadian Indigenous authors. To identify these books, we used the Amazon Best Sellers in Children’s

Native Canadian Story Books list sampled over a seven week period and supplemented with other sources such as academic library, public library and publisher lists. Books written by Canadian Indigenous authors were read and themes identified. More than 100 books met the inclusion criteria. Outcomes from
