Nuts'a'maat shqwaluwun — Knitting ways of life with Indigenous research principles to examine preterm birth in Quw'utsun
Indigenous Peoples have an inherent and legislated right to self-determination, including the right to lead research involving them. Several principles within Nuts'a'maat shqwaluwun enabled Quw'utsun people to lead this research: (1) trusting relationships; (2) respecting community-specific ways of life; (3) community ownership and access to data; and (4) training opportunities to lead research.
