In a culturalist approach, the cultural peculiarities of First Nations, Métis and Inuit are put forward to explain it.

The First Nations people who participated in this thesis are looking for empathic professionals and egalitarian relationships.

Cette étude propose un regard différent sur la question en examinant ...
