Highlighting Indigenous Research at Queen’s: Voices of Indigenous Research Column – The Queen’s Journal

Lake health, fish health, human health. We’re all interconnected
There is a strong relationship between the health of our planet and its direct and indirect impacts on human health. Health is a matter of balance: an internal balance between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and an external balance between ourselves, the land, the sky, the water, and all the beings with whom we share this world.
I’m a third-year undergraduate Health Sciences student with a driving passion rooted in the place where environmental health intersects with human health. I’m Métis with ties to the Red River Settlement through Lac Ste. Anne, and a current member of the Métis Nation of Ontario.
