Epidemiology has a long and turbulent history with Indigenous health. Findings from numerous studies have had adverse repercussions for Indigenous communities, however, epidemiology can also be a helpful tool for supporting health and health services. The objective of this talk is to begin a discussion of the ways we may be able to reconcile the field of epidemiology with the needs of Indigenous communities. It will present and seek community input into the beginnings of an Allied Research Paradigm to guide non-Indigenous researchers working collaboratively with Indigenous communities.
