Currently, we are faced with an important equity gap and opportunity for nursing in higher education related to Indigenous Peoples and health.

We are concerned that ongoing assimilation of Indigenous learners poses a profound risk of social injustice that is contrary to the aim of higher education. In our effort to reconcile nursing education in this context, we offer this …
