“…There is an increasing trend of Two-Eyed Seeing-related peer-reviewed publications (shown in Figure 2). From the 38 retained source documents, several of the papers described the same research project (Bird-Naytowhow et al, 2017;Castleden et al, 2016Castleden et al, , 2017Hatala et al, 2019;Hovey et al, 2014Hovey et al, , 2017Maar et al, 2013Maar et al, , 2016 (Zehbe et al, 2012;Maar et al, 2013;Maar et al, 2016;Castleden & bennet, 2017) were cited by an included/selected article (Wood et al, 2014;Zehbe et al, 2017;Castleden et al, 2016) as describing a part of the same independent project, but were not identified by the search strategy, and were subsequently included Marsh, Young, et al, 2016;Wakewich et al, 2016;Wood et al, 2014;Wright, 2019;Wright et al, 2019aWright et al, , 2019bZehbe et al, 2011Zehbe et al, , 2012Zehbe et al, , 2017Zehbe, Jackson, et al, 2016;.

Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall coined “Two-Eyed Seeing” in 2004, an Indigenous concept that emphasizes integrating the strengths of multiple perspectives to address complex challenges in ways that benefit all. In 2011, Two-Eyed Seeing became a policy of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)–Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health, as a part of its 5-year plan, and in 2012, CIHR funding was directed toward supporting efforts that apply the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing to research. However, little is known about how Two-Eyed Seeing has been operationalized in research. To address this ambiguity, a scoping review was conducted to map the key concepts involved when researchers intend to follow Two-Eyed Seeing guiding principles to study Indigenous health topics. Three research questions guided this scoping review: (1) What are the general characteristics (e.g., location of study, health topic studied) of primary research that has attempted to apply Two-Eyed Seeing when studying Indigenous health topics? (2) How did researchers operationalize the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing when they applied it to primary studies regarding Indigenous health topics? and (3) What process-related elements were present in Two-Eyed Seeing studies that accomplished their objectives? The results of this scoping review indicate there is an increasing trend in Two-Eyed Seeing–related peer-reviewed publications since its formal introduction by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall. The selected Two-Eyed Seeing–related projects were predominately conducted in Canada and published between 2011 and 2019. Projects predominately incorporated a community-based (participatory) research approach and qualitative/Indigenous methods, and six core process–related themes/elements were identified: (i) power was shared, (ii) culturally safe spaces were fostered, (iii) institutional and community ethics were followed, (iv) research projects were transformative, (v) rigor was maintained, and (vi) the structure of Western academia and traditional policy decision-making processes provided challenges for research teams and community partners, respectively.

“…In another mixed-methods study by Marsh et al, a 13-week intervention with "Indigenous Healing and Seeking Safety" in 17 participants demonstrated improvement in trauma symptoms, as measured by the TSC-40, with a mean decrease of 23.9 (SD = 6.4, p = 0.001) points, representing a 55% improvement from baseline [53]. Furthermore, in this study all six TSC-40 subscales demonstrated a significant decrease (i.e., anxiety, depression, sexual abuse trauma index, sleep disturbance, dissociation, and sexual problems) [53].…”

“…Quantitative data analysis within the general traditional medicine category of articles was rarely performed. When quantitative analysis was performed, it was usually done in a mixed method format that utilized survey tools alongside qualitative approaches (e.g., interviews, focus groups) [53][54][55]. For example, a mixed methods study by Mainguy et al, found that the level of spiritual transformation achieved through interaction with traditional healers was associated with a subsequent improvement in medical illness in 134 of 155 people (P < .0001), and that this association exhibited a dose-response relationship [55].…”

Traditional Indigenous medicine in North America: A scoping review

Background Despite the documented continued use of traditional healing methods, modalities and its associated practitioners by Indigenous groups across North America, it is presumed that widespread knowledge is elusive amongst most Western trained health professionals and systems. This despite that the approximately 7.5 million Indigenous peoples who currently reside in Canada and the United States (US) are most often served by Western systems of medicine. A state of the literature is currently needed in this area to provide an accessible resource tool for medical practitioners, scholars, and communities to better understand Indigenous traditional medicine in the context of current clinical care delivery and future policy making. Methods A systematic search of multiple databases was performed utilizing an established scoping review framework. A consequent title and abstract review of articles published on traditional Indigenous medicine in the North American context was completed. Findings Of the 4,277 published studies identified, 249 met the inclusion criteria divided into the following five categorical themes: General traditional medicine, integration of traditional and Western medicine systems, ceremonial practice for healing, usage of traditional medicine, and traditional healer perspectives. Conclusions This scoping review was an attempt to catalogue the wide array of published research in the peer-reviewed and online grey literature on traditional Indigenous medicine in North America in order to provide an accessible database for medical practitioners, scholars, and communities to better inform practice, policymaking, and research in Indigenous communities.
