自杀是加拿大土著社区面临的最重要的问题之一。土著居民的自杀死亡率与一般公众的自杀死亡率严重不成比例。虽然过去三十年在加拿大范围内对自杀学研究进行了大量投资，但土著自杀死亡率仍然相对稳定，对减少土著自杀死亡的有效手段知之甚少。健康和社会科学领域的批判性自杀学学者开始挑战自杀学研究和自杀预防的主流方法，并引用了对意识形态和认知基础的担忧。在这篇文章中，作者强调了这些批评是如何与土著语境相关的。挑战一系列假设，作者认为有必要重新思考土著自杀研究的意识形态基础。最后，作者考虑了两个方法论项目，它们是形成土著自杀学研究和土著自杀预防实践的关键方法所不可或缺的——文化基础研究和非殖民化研究。
Suicide is one of the most significant issues facing Indigenous communities throughout Canada. The rate of Indigenous deaths by suicide is severely disproportionate to that of the general public. While the last three decades have seen substantial investments in suicidology research within the Canadian context, rates of Indigenous deaths by suicide have remained relatively stable, and little remains known about effective means to reduce Indigenous deaths by suicide. A movement of critical suicidology scholars across health and social sciences is beginning to challenge the mainstream approach of suicidology research and suicide prevention, citing concerns about the ideological and epistemic foundations. In this article, the author highlights how these critiques are relevant to Indigenous contexts. Challenging a range of assumptions, the author considers the need to rethink the ideological foundations of research on Indigenous suicide. Finally, the author considers two methodological projects that are integral to forming a critical approach to Indigenous suicidology research and Indigenous suicide prevention praxis-culturally grounded research and decolonizing research.
