The National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health (NCCIH), one of six National Collaborating Centres created to foster linkages within the public health community, is located in the University of Northern British Columbia, Prince George, B.C. It focuses on the health of a population and addresses health inequities experienced by Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The NCCIH supports a renewed public health system in Canada that is inclusive and respectful of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Using a holistic, co-ordinated and strengths-based approach to health, the NCCIH fosters links between evidence, knowledge, practice and policy while advancing self-determination and Indigenous knowledge in support of optimal health and well-being.
