The main goals of this case are for the reader to understand limited English proficiency and health literacy in the context of health care for Indigenous populations, and to define and apply strategies to effectively communicate with these populations in a health care setting. This case provides the reader with an array of information regarding Indigenous health issues and perspectives. It gives the reader the opportunity to assess a health care problem and identify the social and cultural determinants of health within it. Through the use of concept mapping, the reader will be pushed to explore the relationships between limited English proficiency, health literacy, and Indigenous knowledge and beliefs in a healthcare setting. It will challenge the reader to think critically about the situation and propose strategic interventions to break down communication barriers.
