Utilizing Indigenous methodologies, this study explores the healthcare experiences of Aboriginal individuals living in Vancouver's inner city who use drugs or alcohol. The research highlights how systemic racism and discrimination contribute to the perpetuation of healthcare inequalities, suggesting the need for meaningful training about the historical and structural forces that influence racial disparities and personal attitudes in clinical practice. This training must be embedded at all levels of the healthcare system to ensure that Aboriginal clients feel safe in their encounters with the healthcare system.
