TL;DR
The theoretical and epistemological frameworks underlying Western scientific and Indigenous knowledge systems were shown to have fundamental differences and knowledge translation methods for health sciences research need to be specifically developed and evaluated within the context of Aboriginal communities.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We wanted to evaluate the interface between knowledge translation theory and Indigenous knowledge. DESIGN: Literature review supplemented by expert opinion was carried out. METHOD: Thematic analysis to identify gaps and convergences between the two domains was done. RESULTS: The theoretical and epistemological frameworks underlying Western scientific and Indigenous knowledge systems were shown to have fundamental differences. CONCLUSION: Knowledge translation methods for health sciences research need to be specifically developed and evaluated within the context of Aboriginal communities.

Public health needs to be more passionate about the health issues caused by human progress and adopt a health promotion stance, challenging the assumptions behind the notion of social “progress” that is giving rise to the burden of chronic disease and developing the skills to create more health promoting societies in which individual health thrives.
