ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic posed a significant risk to the health and well-being of First Nations and Métis communities in Alberta. Communities' self-determined and integrated responses with embedded cultural supports - in collaboration with governments, organizations and providers - were key to minimizing morbidity and mortality. Maintaining and building these relationships in the continued pandemic response, broadening approaches to healthcare delivery and continuing to include culture will support attainment of the Indigenous primary healthcare model while addressing logistical challenges in transforming and sustaining healthcare systems in the background of ongoing inequities in the social determinants of health.
