WHO ARE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES?
“Indigenous peoples remain on the margins of society: they are poorer, less educated, die at a younger age, are much more likely to commit suicide, and are generally in worse health than the rest of the population."
(Source: The Indigenous World 2006, International Working Group on Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) WHO

What are some promising strategies?
Social Determinates of Health: Whitehall Studies
• Within a hierarchical society, there is a social gradient for morbidity and mortality. (Poverty, sanitation, nutrition, and shelter are controlled.)
• Higher status folks live longer and healthier.
Health Care Improvement Needs More Than Money:
• Opportunity, Empowerment, Security, Control, and Dignity….

The Social Determinants of Health
• The conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.
• Shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.
• Are mostly responsible for health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries.
