The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) emphasize the importance of meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities. Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a systematic step-by-step process that aims to identify impacts of proposed actions on community health. Involving Indigenous communities at each of step of this process enables practitioners to use culturally appropriate methodologies and facilitates meaningful collaboration. This presentation will review examples of Indigenous engagement throughout the HIA process in practice and discuss the challenges, opportunities, and how Indigenous collaboration approaches can lead to more equitable and effective outcomes for Indigenous communities.
