I am a member of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and a health researcher at the University of Saskatchewan. From 2009 to 2016, I led the CIHR Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health as its Scientific Director, spearheading the development of a national health research agenda aimed at improving wellness and achieving health equity for First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada. I continue to teach and research in Indigenous health, with a particular focus on wellness and engagement.
