Research, Sovereignty and Action: Lessons from a First Nations-Led Study on Aging in Ontario.

First Nations in Ontario are building capacity to leverage health services data in Ontario to provide robust, First Nations-driven health evidence.

Suggested ways include integrating stories and traditional knowledge, prioritizing gatherings and establishing an enduring commitment to action.
