Download or read book Indigenous Research written by Deborah McGregor and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous research is an important and burgeoning field of study. With the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call for the Indigenization of higher education and growing interest within academic institutions, scholars are exploring research methodologies that are centred in or emerge from Indigenous worldviews, epistemologies, and ontology. This new edited collection moves beyond asking what Indigenous research is and examines how Indigenous approaches to research are carried out in practice. Contributors share their personal experiences of conducting Indigenous research within the academy in collaboration with their communities and with guidance from Elders and other traditional knowledge keepers. Their stories are linked to current discussions and debates, and their unique journeys reflect the diversity of Indigenous languages, knowledges, and approaches to inquiry. Indigenous Research: Theories, Practices, and Relationships is essential reading for students in Indigenous studies programs, as well as for those studying research methodology in education, health sociology, anthropology, and history. It offers vital and timely guidance on the use of Indigenous research methods as a movement toward reconciliation.

Download or read book Yukon North Slope Research Guide written by Wildlife Management Advisory Council (North Slope) (Canada) and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of both the Inuvialuit Final Agreement and the increasing responsibilities devolved to territorial governments, more permits, licences, and review processes are now required for conducting research on the Yukon North Slope. Expectations of both researchers and communities regarding the conduct of research have also changed in the past few years. This guide is a resource document for both researchers and communities. It attempts to clarify expectations and develop common understandings that will help communities and researchers work together. It also provides information and references related to conducting research on the Yukon North Slope and adjacent areas, including the Gwich'in Settlement Area of the Northwest Territories. Topics covered include: How to involve communities in research and monitoring; How to consult with the communities; How to access traditional and local knowledge for research and monitoring; How to communicate information to the communities; How to conduct research in an ethical way; Where to find funding; What support services are available for research; and What permits, licences, and review processes apply. Many excellent publications contain information about conducting research in Arctic regions. This guide differs in offering a ?one-window? approach, with information for both researchers and communities. It highlights existing information, provides direction on how and when to access it, and offers additional information not contained in other guides. It should be used in conjunction with the Yukon North Slope Long-term Research and Monitoring Plan (www.taiga.net/wmac/researchplan), which sets out research and monitoring priorities for the Yukon North Slope. Methodology: This guide was developed through extensive consultation with the Inuvialuit community in Aklavik and interested people in Aklavik, Inuvik, and Old Crow; with Inuvialuit agencies and co-management bodies; with federal, territorial, and Alaskan government agencies; with Canadian and Alaskan universities; and with nongovernmental organizations. Consultations included two workshops, and interviews with more than forty researchers and community representatives. The guide also contains information from other publications about permitting requirements, ethical conduct, support services, and funding -- ASTIS (online) database.

Download or read book Traditions Traps and Trends written by Jarich Oosten and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transfer of knowledge is a key issue in the North as Indigenous Peoples meet the ongoing need to adapt to cultural and environmental change. In eight essays, experts survey critical issues surrounding the knowledge practices of the Inuit of northern Canada and Greenland and the Northern Sámi of Scandinavia, and the difficulties of transferring that knowledge from one generation to the next. Reflecting the ongoing work of the Research Group Circumpolar Cultures, these multidisciplinary essays offer fresh understandings through history and across geography as scholars analyze cultural, ecological, and political aspects of peoples in transition. Traditions, Traps and Trends is an important book for students and scholars in anthropology and ethnography and for everyone interested in the Circumpolar North.

Download or read book Inuit Education and Schools in the Eastern Arctic written by Heather E. McGregor and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between Inuit and newcomers has led to profound changes in education in the Eastern Arctic, including the experience of colonization and progress toward the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. Heather McGregor assesses developments in the history of education in four periods � the traditional, the colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-81), and the local (1982-99). She concludes that education is most successful when Inuit involvement and local control support a system reflecting Inuit culture and visions.

Download or read book Water Policy and Governance in Canada written by Steven Renzetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an insightful and critical assessment of the state of Canadian water governance and policy. It adopts a multidisciplinary variety of perspectives and considers local, basin, provincial and national scales. Canada’s leading authorities from the social sciences, life and natural sciences address pressing water issues in a non-technical language, making them accessible to a wide audience. Even though Canada is seen as a water-rich country, with 7% of the world’s reliable flow of freshwater and many of the world’s largest rivers, the country nevertheless faces a number of significant water-related challenges, stemming in part from supply-demand imbalances but also a range of water quality issues. Against the backdrop of a water policy landscape that has changed significantly in recent years, this book therefore seeks to examine water-related issues that are not only important for the future of Canadian water management but also provide insights into transboundary management, non-market valuation of water, decentralized governance methods, the growing importance of the role of First Nations peoples, and other topics in water management that are vital to many jurisdictions globally. The book also presents forward-looking approaches such as resilience theory and geomatics to shed light on emerging water issues. Researchers, students and those directly involved in the management of Canadian waters will find this book a valuable source of insight. In addition, this book will appeal to policy analysts, people concerned about Canadian water resources specifically as well as global water issues.
