Abstract
Within health librarianship, there exists an immediate need for both students and health sciences librarians to connect with the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) through sustained outreach. Utilizing the FNHA’s strategic plan as a starting point, we propose a long-term collaboration with UBC’s School of Information (iSchool) to ensure that Indigenous communities maintain their authority over the implementation of traditional health practices. We present this framework for LIS students as a Professional Experience (PE) project, supervised by a health sciences librarian, to work alongside Indigenous Peoples towards the goal of creating a long-lasting partnership for traditional Indigenous health knowledge mobilization.

Description
With the guidance of the FNHA, iSchool students would assist with the creation of information resources and tools such as LibGuides about traditional medicines, health resources, and practitioners for use within community contexts. Where possible, the program could assist in knowledge transfer from Elder to information guides, and when information is sensitive, we would assist in creating templates for information retrieval to maintain consistency.

Outcomes
The goal for the collaborating information professionals is not to extract this knowledge, but instead to facilitate knowledge translation and mobilization by and for these communities. The highest priority in these efforts is that the Indigenous communities we work with maintain their authority over and improve access to their information.

Discussion
This proposal differs from existing library programs by collaborating more directly with Indigenous communities, working with knowledge and materials that may not be academically published, and building a space for limited access to culturally sensitive materials.
