Indigenous Peoples and Diabetes is a bold attempt to reframe the meaning of diabetes mellitus as a socio-political disorder from the perspective of Indigenous Peoples, community workers, medical anthropologists, and health professionals working and/or living in North America, Latin America, the Arctic, Australia, and the Indian Ocean. The anthology discusses the effects of social history on the etiology and epidemiology of type 2 diabetes within Indigenous experiences of cultural expansionism and colonial occupation. Indigenous narratives about the right to food, health, emotional experience, and the importance of networks of solidarity provide reflective critiques on community wellness, empowering individuals to regain control of their health, spiritual knowledge, and emotional liberty. The book is a paradigm-breaking endeavor because it challenges the widespread assumption that Indigenous Peoples all over the planet are inherently susceptible to sicken and die from degenerative ailments such as diabetes because of their faulty genotype, poor dietary habits, and sedentary lifestyle. Instead, the creative assemblage of chapters shifts the medical gaze from a potentially diseased body to a diseased colonial and post-colonial history of genocide practiced against Indigenous Peoples to this day. Innovative programs to combat the diabetes epidemic and promote physical and emotional wellness are discussed in detail, such as the Mino-Miijim 'Good Food for the Future' program on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota; the Kahnawake School Diabetes Prevention Project developed in the Kanien'keha':ka (Mohawk) community of Kahnawake, near Montreal, Canada; and the Cultural Rebuilding Project at the Potawot Health Village in northern California. The authors are inspired by a strong commitment to a liberation medicine and to the belief that access to good food, respect for cultural traditions, and integrative therapies are basic human rights. This book is part of the Ethnographic Studies in Medical Anthropology Series, edited by Pamela J. Stewart and Andrew Strathern, Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh. "[E]xtremely valuable for anybody who is interested in health issues of indigenous peoples in North America... an important addition to the ethnographic literature." -- North Dakota Quarterly "[A]n innovative and important attempt to reframe the meaning of diabetes as a sociopolitical pathology among indigenous peoples." -- CHOICE Magazine

From a disease that was virtually unknown among First Nations, Inuit and Métis people 50 years ago, the prevalence of diabetes among First Nations is now at least 3 times the national average, with high rates occurring in all age groups. This document provides information and statistics on diabetes among Aboriginal people, complications of the disease, and health services and programs.

In the late 1980s, pediatric endocrinologists at the Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg began to notice a new cohort appearing in their clinics for young people with diabetes. Indigenous youngsters from two First Nations in northern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario were showing up not with type 1 (or insulin-dependent diabetes), but with what looked like type 2 diabetes, until then a condition that was restricted to people much older. Investigation led the doctors to learn that something similar had become a medical issue among young people of the Pima Indian Nation in Arizona though, to their knowledge, nobody else. But these youth were just the tip of the iceberg. Over the next few decades more children would confront what was turning into not only a medical but also a social and community challenge. "Diagnosing the Legacy" is the story of communities, researchers, and doctors who faced—and continue to face—something never seen before: type 2 diabetes in younger and younger people. Through dozens of interviews, Krotz shows the impact of the disease on the lives of individuals and families as well as the challenges caregivers faced diagnosing and then responding to the complex and perplexing disease, especially in communities far removed from the medical personnel a facilities available in the city.

This art based research study is situated within an Indigenous research methodology. The goal of the research was to first, document the voices of Urban Aboriginal people with Type 2 diabetes and secondly, to bring together these voices into an updated oral format using the medium of radio. Four principles that grounded this research were Indigenous research paradigm, drawing from Indigenous scholars, critiquing the Euro-Western biomedical worldview of health, and reciprocity. Using an Indigenous research paradigm meant situating who I am as a Nahayowak (Cree) woman who used prayer, medicines and talking with Elders to carry out the research. Second, I ensured the bulk of the reference sources were Indigenous writers. Third, the research was undertaken knowing that health is situated in a colonial Euro-Western biomedical worldview and if the health of Indigenous people is to improve I must assert Indigenous ways of doing research; and finally, any work I do must have a component of reciprocity where knowledge and pragmatic tools, podcast of radio documentary, must be given back to not only the academy but to students and Indigenous community members. Reciprocity must be seen as the 'gold standard' in any work that Indigenous scholars do when working to change the situation of Indigenous peoples. The theoretical underpinnings of this research are four aspects of self, visually represented in the Nahayowak Medicine Model by Ghostkeeper as the mind, body, emotions and spirit. I was motivated to do this research when I found out 50% of my relatives had diabetes and when the Canadian Diabetes Association in 2002, and again in 2015, stated there is still a stigma associated with diabetes that prevents Aboriginal people from disclosing their diabetes. For this study there were seven Indigenous people who agreed to participate because they also wanted to create a space for other Aboriginal people to be able to talk about diabetes without shame or guilt. They hope their story will allow others to share their diabetes story. The interviews became a radio documentary that ensured views were broadcasted about Indigenous people living with diabetes from an Indigenous perspective that was directed toward other Indigenous people.

Increasing rates of type 2 diabetes in Indigenous populations are a complex and critical problem. The requirements of diabetes self-management are challenging and few interventions have produced meaningful improvements for Indigenous people with diabetes. Studies have reported that when Indigenous people seek help with diabetes from the medical system they face racial discrimination and barriers rooted in cultural difference and misunderstanding. In this dissertation, I explore the intersections of culture and health care in the context of Indigenous peoples' experience with diabetes self-management. This study combines critical ethnographic methods with the theory of postcolonial scholar Homi Bhabha to provide new insights into how members of a colonized group (the subaltern) experience the world from a figurative third space between the culture of the colonizer and the culture of the colonized. In the third space, experiences are translated uniquely, since the subaltern has knowledge of both the culture of the colonizer and their own culture. Based on this process of translation, a person in the third space enunciates their cultural difference through words and actions that challenge, unsettle, or infiltrate the colonial power. I conducted storytelling sessions with ten Indigenous community members in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories in Canada to explore how Bhabha's third space theory can applied to the experiences of Indigenous people navigating the third space between the mainstream Canadian medical culture and Indigenous culture and enunciating cultural difference through diabetes self-management behaviours. This work disrupts the traditional understanding of individual level behaviour change by addressing the mechanism through which individual health decision-making is influenced by experience translated through the lens of colonization. I argue that, while the Western medical system is part of a colonial structure, the third space model provides an opportunity to understand how Indigenous people develop self-management behaviours that are culturally informed and discursively strategic.
