Abstract Summary

The concentration of my proposed studies is to understand how (and if) Two-Spirit facilitates access to health information and well-being for Indigenous sexual and gender minority peoples and/or communities. To achieve this understanding will be accomplished by three distinct but interrelated objectives/chapters: (1) exploration of best and wise research practices and methods that honor Two-Spirit/Two-Eyed Seeing approaches (i.e., reflections from data collection with Two-Spirit and other Indigenous people); (2) an empirical study of how to apply Two-Spirit specific measures to public health survey data; (3) development of a new theory of Indigenous/2S/Two(-Spirit) Eyed Seeing knowledge translation, (i.e., the canoe-in-water story rather than the current "bridge/ing" analogy of knowledge translation).
