Abstract
The document, Cultural Competence and Cultural Safety in First Nations, Inuit and Métis
Nursing Education: Integrated Review of the Literature was developed to assist educators to
foster cultural competence and cultural safety among students, particularly those students who
are First Nations, Inuit and Métis. In addition, the paper is a synthesis of the literature and best
practice framework. It provided the basis for identifying concepts related to core nursing
education competencies. These concepts were presented at a discussion session, Cultural
Competency in Nursing Education Making It Happen: Focus on the Conceptual Framework,
attended by nursing educators, nursing students, nurses and an Elder.
