Introduction: The current biomedical vision of health is at odds with Indigenous peoples’ holistic vision of health. The differences between these visions of health create profound fears and mistrust among Indigenous people towards the healthcare system. Yet research shows that integrating traditional knowledge is promising for delivering culturally safe healthcare. Although the integration of traditional knowledge is encouraged by many healthcare stakeholders, there is little empirical research in Quebec (Canada) on how this integration takes place. Objectives: 1) Describe how traditional knowledge is integrated within the care of Indigenous people living with a health condition, 2) explore the mechanisms and contextual elements that might influence this integration, and 3) identify paths of improvement for better integration of this traditional knowledge within care. Methods: A qualitative participatory case study guided by the principles of the realist approach will be conducted in the health center of the Atikamekw community of Manawan, using a Two-Eyed Seeing approach. Talking circles, family and individual interviews will be conducted with Indigenous and non-Indigenous health professionals, traditional healers, and Indigenous people. Data will be analyzed thematically and validated by Indigenous co-investigators and collaborators. Discussion and Research Spin-offs: The results will enable a better understanding of the elements influencing the integration of traditional knowledge into care for Indigenous people. These findings are crucial for a sustainable, holistic approach to health and to improve the quality and safety of care offered to Indigenous peoples.
