This chapter describes the successful use of wool felting to enhance cervical cancer screening education for Canadian Indigenous women. The Anishinaabek Cervical Cancer Screening Study is a large mixed-methods study being conducted by a multi-disciplinary team in collaboration with ten Robinson-Superior Treaty First Nations communities in northwestern Ontario, Canada, to address and ultimately improve cervical cancer screening in First Nations women. Despite significant decrease in cervical cancer deaths since the introduction of the Pap(anicolaou) test, Indigenous women in Canada have 2 to 20 times the risk of contracting cervical cancer. This chapter shares the research tenets underpinning this arts-integrated work, the outcomes of needle felting in a pilot focus group, and an artist-researcher’s learnings in creating the art pieces “Growing Wellbeing.”
