Indigenous health research and Indigenous scholars are underrepresented within peer-re-viewed health research publications. Health research has been and continues to be dominated by Western worldviews, methods, and concepts such as individualism, bio medicalism, and linearity (Martin, 2012). In contrast, dominant paradigms in Indigenous health research value collectivism, holism, and non-linearity (Hyett, Marjerrison, & Gabel, 2018; Allen, Hatala, Ijaz, Elder David Courchene, & Elder Burma Bushie, 2020). Interventions based on Indigenous culture and worldviews work most effectively in improving health outcomes among Indigenous populations (Allen, Hatala, Ijaz, Elder David Courchene, & Elder Burma Bushie, 2020). For example, in an evaluation of a program where Elders provided direct care for First Nations clients at a primary care clinic, clients experienced positive healing impacts, increased confidence in their cultural identity, more engagement in ceremony, and attention to their spiritual dimensions of care (Hadji-pavlou, Varcoe, Tu, Dehoney, Price, & Browne, 2018). These outcomes highlight the importance of leveraging Elders’ knowledge to support holistic healing for Indigenous Peoples, and how Indigenous methods may have benefits that surpass those of Western paradigms.

It is noted that today, at the international level, there are no instruments that ensure comprehensive protection of traditional knowledge. The author concludes that WIPO and UNESCO currently carry out the main work aimed at providing the protection of traditional knowledge. However, other international organizations and conferences, such as WHO, WTO, FAO, UNCTAD and Conference of the Parties of CBD in their work are also addressed some aspects associated with the preservation of traditional knowledge.
