This study explores, through critical narrative analysis, the understanding of Indigenouswomen about conditions that they need to be healthy, and how their stories and reflectionsprovide a critique that can inform thinking around the right to health. Literature from varieddisciplinary perspectives describes the right to health, and a body of health human rights, asconceptual tools that identify the conditions all people require to be healthy, encompassing notjust health care and access to material goods, but equality, culture, power and participation.Literature also provides some critique of human rights, and indicates that their alignment withdominant discourses and powers may be a barrier to their effectiveness for Indigenous people.With reference to Habermas' theories of communicative action, including the colonization thesis,the lifeworlds of 14 Indigenous women were explored in relation to the institutional discourse ofhealth human rights. The study finds that in the stories that women shared there was somevalidation of human rights instruments relating to health, which identify as rights violationshealth harms such as violence, disruption of families, experiences of racism, and lack of supportfor mental health. However, women's interpretation of these events often differed frominstitutional discourse in that they located responsibility for violations less in the people ororganizations that harmed them, and more in processes of colonization carried out by successiveCanadian governments, that effectively undermined their rights and their health. As theyreflected on their stories, women identified a right to knowledge about history and the impact ofcolonization on Indigenous people as being important to their physical and mental health. Otherfindings are that a rights-based assessment of women's health that focuses on experiences ofviolations and harms may be perceived as deficit-based. To be more meaningful to Indigenouswomen, a discourse of human rights in health could speak to their strengths and resources, andsupport broadly defined goals in physical, spiritual and mental health by removing barriers toagency. This study joins a body of other research in finding that explicit rights-basedparticipation in service delivery and health policy development and evaluation may help to avoidabuses in the future, but may require more autonomous forms of governance and service deliveryto address longstanding power imbalance and distrust. The study concludes that a discourse ofhealth human rights can better meet the needs of Indigenous women when colonialism is namedas a human rights abuse and the primary cause of health inequity that affects their families andcommunities, reinforcing their life world knowledge with rights-based accountability, andcreating common understanding in the public sphere.
