“…The prevalence of early pregnancies is more common among young Indigenous women (Boulet Badets, 2017). Indeed, several risk factors explain this phenomenon, such as the precocity of sexual relations, lower contraceptive use, consumption of drugs and alcohol, and being victims of sexual assault (Joncas Roy, 2015). As well, the social determinants of Indigenous health also have repercussions for the course of pregnancies among Indigenous women in Canada.…”

Background: The report of the Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec (2019) reported problems in accessing health and social services, specifically in urban areas. In order to better serve their members, the Centre d’amitié autochtone de Trois-Rivières (CAATR) launched the Holistic Health Strategy Project. The objectives were: 1) to assess the needs of CAATR members and of the partners in health and social services, and 2) to create a directory of resources intended for the Indigenous people in the region. Methods: An assessment of health and services needs was completed through consultation with members of the community. A literature review was carried out to draw a portrait of the health and social care services and models intended for Indigenous people. Results: A total of 25 participants took part in the consultation. Better access to services (e.g., transport and daycare) and a need for liaison with non-native institutions (e.g., interpreters in hospitals and liaison officers with schools) are expressed. A directory of resources intended for Aboriginals has been created, bringing together more than 20 services and organizations. Conclusion: The results of the Holistic Health Strategy Project highlight the health needs and health particularities of Indigenous people living in urban areas. Measures adapted to the realities of Aboriginal people in urban areas must support and facilitate their access to services.

“…Ces recherches ont mis en évidence le besoin d'étudier séparément le parcours scolaire des femmes autochtones en raison des différences relevées entre les parcours de femmes et d'hommes autochtones, mais aussi entre les parcours de femmes autochtones et allochtones. Par exemple, les femmes autochtones sont plus nombreuses à l'université que les hommes (Statistique Canada, 2016), ont un nombre élevé de grossesses à l'adolescence (Joncas et Roy, 2016), sont plus souvent des mères à l'université que les étudiantes allochtones (Statistique Canada, 2016b) et sont nombreuses en situation de monoparentalité (Guimond et al, 2012). Sankhulani (2007)…”

This paper aims to assess the impact of the study environment on the opportunities of Indigenous women to complete the school pathway desired. During individual interviews, we collected 19 stories of Indigenous women’s experiences at two Quebec universities, one with several initiatives for indigenous students and the other with few. Through a typological analysis, four types of school pathways are presented according to the impact of the study environment; the pathway with: 1) pre-existing opportunities; 2) opportunities highlighted by the study environment; 3) rebound opportunities; and 4) driven by external impulses. Inspired by the capability approach, the results highlight the importance of focusing not only on the services and measures available to these students, but also on their ability to use them to achieve the desired academic path. This requires considering the factors that enable them to make effective use of educational resources for the purpose they choose.
