b) Learn about the negative impact of Indigenous-specific racism on Indigenous clients accessing the health care system, and its disproportionate impact on Indigenous women and girls and two-spirit, queer, and trans Indigenous people.
c) Learn about the historical and current impacts of colonialism on Indigenous people and how this may impact their health care experiences.
d) Learn about the Indigenous communities located in the areas where they work, recognizing that languages, histories, heritage, cultural practices, and systems of knowledge may differ between Indigenous communities. summarize and what is the meaning of this?
