“…Calls for change have included recommendations to transform the current policy landscape by incorporating equity-enhancing measures (Lavoie, 2013; Smylie, 2015), addressing social determinants of health (Gislason & Andersen, 2016; Gone, 2013; MacDonald, Ford, Willox, & Ross, 2013; Matthews, 2015; Richmond, Nancy, & Ross, 2009), and ensuring the collection and application of high quality data in analyzing issues and proffering solutions (Smylie & Firestone, 2015). Similarly, research methods and practice need to be reviewed for contextual relevancy (Hall et al, 2015; Oster et al, 2016; Simonds & Christopher, 2013), strengthened through community engagement and participation (Bartlett, Iwasaki, Gottlieb, Hall, & Mannell, 2007; Bharadwaj, 2014; Christopher et al, 2011; Rink et al, 2016), and held to high ethical standards (Starkes, Baydala, Canadian Paediatric Society First Nations Inuit Metis Health Committee, 2014), including FNs research principles of (a) Free and Prior Consent and (b) Ownership and Control Access and Possession (OCAP) and respect of FNs ethical standards and protocols.…”

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) provides the opportunity to engage communities for sustainable change. We share a journey to transformation in our work with eight Manitoba First Nations seeking to improve the health of their communities and discuss lessons learned. The study used community-based participatory research approach for the conceptualization of the study, data collection, analysis, and knowledge translation. It was accomplished through a variety of methods, including qualitative interviews, administrative health data analyses, surveys, and case studies. Research relationships built on strong ethics and protocols to enhance mutual commitment to support community-driven transformation. Collaborative and respectful relationships are platforms for defining and strengthening community health care priorities. We further discuss how partnerships were forged to own and sustain innovations. This article contributes a blueprint for respectful CBPR. The outcome is a community-owned, widely recognized process that is sustainable while fulfilling researcher and funding obligations.
