The intent of the Indigenous Perspectives on Life and Holistic Health (IPLHH) research cluster is to support research efforts pertaining to the interdependence of Indigenous peoples’ health and the health of the natural world from the perspective of Indigenous Elders. It aims to reshape mental health research by highlighting the connections between holistic wellness, cultural ways of life, and environmental sustainability for Indigenous Elders and their communities.
From a traditional Indigenous worldview, mental health and holistic wellness must be situated within a larger network of social relations that includes both the human and more-than human worlds. Community-based research with Indigenous Elders must focus beyond the individual and extend our understandings about health and wellness to that of living “in relation” to all else, not just for the present but for the future generations to come.
