There is a lack of research on Indigenous family-run land-based programs, despite their wide distribution across Canada and their culturally rooted orientation to addressing mental health issues among youth, who are at elevated risk of suicide and substance abuse. This study employs a qualitative ideographic approach, consonant with Indigenous research methodology, to interview and analyze the report of one program in Mushkegowuk Territory, in northern Ontario. The participant was invited to an interview during which he was asked open-ended questions regarding his outdoor program. Responses were transcribed and subjected to qualitative analysis. Initial results were then shared with the participant, who was encouraged to edit or expand the interpretations until he was satisfied with the outcome. Results indicated that this grassroots land-based program arose out of one individual’s perceived need within his community. The participant articulated his experience with traditional values, outdoor skills, spirituality, and sharing stories to facilitate healing from trauma and substance abuse. Nevertheless, he expressed that offering this service is challenging, primarily because of funding concerns; however, political and religious issues have also presented hurdles. In the view of this participant, knowledge transfer requires future leaders to participate in land-based programming numerous times until they can practice what they have learned. A discussion considering the implications of these results follows.

尽管土著人家庭经营的陆上方案在加拿大广泛分布，而且其针对自杀和滥用毒品的风险较高的青年人的心理健康问题具有文化根源的定位，但缺乏研究。这项研究采用定性的表意方法，结合土著研究方法，采访和分析了安大略省北部Mushkegowuk领土的一项计划的报告。参与者被邀请参加一次采访，在采访中他被问到有关他的户外活动的开放性问题。记录反应，并进行定性分析。然后，与参与者共享初始结果，并鼓励参与者编辑或扩展解释，直到他对结果满意为止。结果表明，这个草根的陆基计划源于一个人在其社区内的感知需求。参与者用传统价值观，户外技能，灵性和分享故事来表达自己的经验，以促进创伤和药物滥用的康复。不过，他表示，提供这项服务具有挑战性，主要是因为资金问题；但是，政治和宗教问题也存在障碍。在该参与者看来，知识转移要求未来的领导者多次参与基于陆地的计划，直到他们可以实践所学到的知识为止。接下来的讨论考虑了这些结果的含义。参与者用传统价值观，户外技能，灵性和分享故事来表达自己的经验，以促进创伤和药物滥用的康复。不过，他表示，提供这项服务具有挑战性，主要是因为资金问题；但是，政治和宗教问题也存在障碍。在该参与者看来，知识转移要求未来的领导者多次参与基于陆地的计划，直到他们可以实践所学到的知识为止。接下来的讨论考虑了这些结果的含义。参与者用传统价值观，户外技能，灵性和分享故事来表达自己的经验，以促进创伤和药物滥用的康复。不过，他表示，提供这项服务具有挑战性，主要是因为资金问题；但是，政治和宗教问题也存在障碍。在该参与者看来，知识转移要求未来的领导者多次参与基于陆地的计划，直到他们可以实践所学到的知识为止。接下来的讨论考虑了这些结果的含义。政治和宗教问题也存在障碍。在该参与者看来，知识转移要求未来的领导者多次参与基于陆地的计划，直到他们可以实践所学到的知识为止。接下来的讨论考虑了这些结果的含义。政治和宗教问题也存在障碍。在该参与者看来，知识转移要求未来的领导者多次参与基于陆地的计划，直到他们可以实践所学到的知识为止。接下来的讨论考虑了这些结果的含义。
