The goal of this article is to explain the concept of double perspective and the impact this may be having on the health of Indigenous people. In inter-cultural communication, there are sets of meanings that are discernible to anyone, and an extra set of underlying meanings that are only accessible for people who have the cultural knowledge to discern them. These different sets of meanings embody a double perspective. We will discuss the double perspective involved in the interactions between public healthcare institutions, the clinicians and staff of these institutions, and Indigenous people. By realising the potential for improved resilience that a double perspective brings to Indigenous people, an awareness of the inclusion and exclusion of Indigenous persons, cultures and histories should become established in healthcare institutions and health research. A double perspective carries resilience, and as such it should be understood as a key to support individual health and the collective well-being of Indigenous people.

双重视角讲述时间，生活和健康

本文的目的是解释双重视角的概念及其对土著人民健康的影响。在跨文化交流中，有一些意义是任何人都可以识别的，而另外一组潜在的意义则只有具有文化知识的人才能理解。这些不同的含义体现了双重视角。我们将讨论公共卫生保健机构，这些机构的临床医生和工作人员以及原住民之间相互作用的双重视角。通过认识到双重视角带给土著人民的提高复原力的潜力，意识到对融入和排斥土著人民的认识，文化和历史应该在医疗机构和健康研究中确立。双重观点具有复原力，因此，应将其理解为支持个人健康和土著人民集体福祉的关键。
