Welcome to the Cultural Humility Podcast Series presented by Indigenous Vision!

This week Souta Calling Last (Executive Director & Trainer) and Melissa Spence (Producer & Trainer) breakdown the fourth principle of Cultural Humility: Advocating and maintaining institutional accountability that parallels the three principles above.  While individual development is essential, it is insufficient as a standalone process to redirect the social hierarchy and structural inequality that set the stage for unequal service/provider dynamics like health care delivery and care. Organizations and institutions are required as well to examine their unexamined processes and structures to participate actively in system transformation. Join our next training or schedule one with our Indigenous, female-led team!

The Cultural Humility model provides a method to advocate and maintain accountability by redressing the power imbalances in our communities. For over two decades, the model has replaced the insufficient notion of “cultural competence” with a cyclical approach that embraces critical self-reflection as a lifelong learning process to create a broader, more inclusive view of the world.
