Dr. Grant Bruno is nêhiyaw (Plains Cree), a registered member of Samson Cree Nation located on Treaty 6 Territory, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta. As both a researcher and a parent, Dr. Bruno’s work is rooted in the experiences of Indigenous caregivers raising children with diverse needs. His research seeks to create culturally responsive healthcare models that reflect the strengths, challenges, and hopes of families, particularly in the areas of neurodiversity and child and youth health. Drawing on nêhiyaw understandings of health and wellness, he weaves together Indigenous knowledge systems and Western frameworks to foster inclusive and decolonized approaches to healthcare. Dr. Bruno is currently the Academic Lead for Indigenous Child Health at the Women and Children’s Health Research Institute (WCHRI). He is the founder of the Ispimihk Awâsisak (Sky Children Program) and the Indigenous Caregiving Collective, both of which centre the voices of families and caregivers in shaping programs and research. He is currently the co-chair of the Indigenous Advisory Council for Canada’s National Autism strategy and also serves as the Scientific Advisor for the Indigenous Initiatives for the Kids Brain Health Network, where he continues to advocate for caregiver-driven solutions that strengthen Indigenous child and youth health.
