Overcoming Indigenous Historical Trauma in Health Care
Francois Bastien, PhD
Research Expert
Biography
Dr. François Bastien is Associate Dean Indigenous at the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, University of Victoria. Residing on the traditional lands of the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, Dr. Bastien is a member of the Huron-Wendat First Nation and is grateful to learn from those who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. His work explores incongruities between Indigenous ways of organizing and contemporary colonial models, and a shared struggle to decolonize. For him, reconciliation means a mutually beneficial co-constructed journey of transformation and collaboration between Western and Indigenous worldviews.
