Core Objectives:
Patients with rare diseases frequently encounter discrimination, with many facing lifelong disabilities without access to therapy.

This role encompasses the incorporation of vital aspects of Indigenous data governance into CTs, fostering cultural awareness and safety among network participants, and facilitating Indigenous involvement in CTs.

Assemble, nurture, and support a national advisory circle of Indigenous Knowledge Holders with expertise in Indigenous health research across Canada. Collaborate with Pewaseskwan leads and the IKH circle to identify and leverage resources necessary for EDI+I resource development.
