Background: Indigenous nurses are underrepresented in the nursing workforce. Important strategies have been developed to increase the diversity of the future nursing workforce; however, unique cultural needs of Indigenous students must be addressed to provide holistic support while maintaining and strengthening cultural identity.

Method: The Niganawenimaanaanig (We Take Care of Them) Indigenous Nursing Education Model was developed based on the Medicine Wheel and previous diverse nursing education models. This model supports the cultural, social, academic, and financial needs of Indigenous nursing students throughout recruitment, enrollment, retention, graduation, and licensure and specifies eight essential resources necessary for success.

Results: Lessons learned from implementing the Niganawenimaanaanig Model are shared.

Conclusion: The Niganawenimaanaanig Model may be employed in nursing schools to guide educators and universities in promoting the success of Indigenous nursing students. .

Exploring the Relevance of Indigenous Knowledges to Dementia Care in Nursing.

We outline the limitations of philosophical perspectives aligned with Eurocentric academic knowledge, arguing that such knowledge relies on an individualistic view of self and neglects the body and embodied experience in dementia care. We demonstrate how a personal diachronicity perspective diminishes the importance of valuing the fluid and dynamic self-identities of persons living with dementia.
