Community engagement in Indigenous food systems contamination studies: A systematic scoping review
The increasing recognition of Indigenous and traditional knowledge within academia must extend beyond intellectual discourse to address health disparities. Indigenous Peoples have long advocated for self-determination and engagement in research conducted in their communities. As part of broader reconciliation efforts with Indigenous Peoples the environmental health scientific community must reciprocate these efforts by integrating discussions into scientific literature about community participation and implementation of study results. This review highlights the need for robust and meaningful community engagement in environmental health research related to Indigenous food systems.
