The conference would not have been possible without the generous support of several sponsors. SPIRIT Pharmaceuticals Ltd. SPIRIT Pharmaceuticals: http://www.tcig.biz/spirit-pharmaceuticals/ For First Nations, the high incidence of diabetes is a heavy burden. In fact, the Public Health Agency of Canada reports that up to 17% of First Nations individuals suffer from this disease compared to 5% in the non-Aboriginal population. The good news is that even though diabetes can be serious, the condition can also be managed. Monitoring and controlling blood sugar levels is a key element of lifelong diabetes management. Today, First Canadian Health offers those living with diabetes a new glucose monitoring tool, the SPIRIT meter and test strips. Anyone can buy the SPIRIT meter and know that 50% of Spirit Pharmaceutical’s profits from test strips will go directly to programs that help educate and control diabetes in our communities - vital projects like school breakfast and sports programs. These initiatives will help First Nations take control of their own wellness, and may help reduce the potential impact of this chronic disease. For more information on SPIRIT meters and test strips contact First Canadian Health at (855) 902-6216. Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health: http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/8668.html The Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health (IIPH) fosters the advancement of a national health research agenda to improve and promote the health of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada, through research, knowledge translation and capacity building. The Institute’s pursuit of research excellence is enhanced by respect for community research priorities and Indigenous knowledge, values and cultures. Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes: http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/13521.html The Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes’s (INMD) mandate supports research to enhance health in relation to diet, digestion, excretion, and metabolism; and to address causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation for a wide range of conditions and problems associated with hormone, digestive system, kidney, and liver function. Diabetes Canada: https://www.diabetes.ca/ The Canadian Diabetes Association became Diabetes Canada on February 13, 2017 to shed the light on the diabetes epidemic Canada is facing. It’s taking a monumental toll on our health. Diabetes Canada will be the driving force to build awareness of the disease and its implications, which are often misunderstood. - page 3 - CONFERENCE SPONSORS The President’s Office and the Faculty of Health at Dalhousie University https://www.dal.ca/faculty/health.html At Dalhousie, students, faculty and staff from around the world are part of nearly two centuries of academic excellence in this great community by the sea. Dalhousie has come a long way since its founding in 1818; with campuses in Halifax and Truro, and programs in Yarmouth and Saint John – our impact is felt across the Maritimes and beyond. A member of the U15, we are proud to host more than 4,000 courses across 180 degree programs in 12 faculties – one of the broadest selections of academic choice in Canada. We have the highest proportion of out-of-province enrolment of any major research university in Canada, along with a growing, vibrant international student population. This diversity enriches our classes, our campus, and our communities. ™The heart and / Icon on its own and the heart and / Icon followed by another icon or words are trademarks of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada used under license. Heart and Stroke: http://www.heartandstroke.ca/ For over 60 years, Heart & Stroke has been dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Our work has saved thousands of lives and improved the lives of millions of others. Diabetes Care Program of Nova Scotia Nova Scotia Health Authority: http://www.nshealth.ca/ Nova Scotia Health Authority provides health services to Nova Scotians and some specialized services to Maritimers and Atlantic Canadians. We operate hospitals, health centres and community-based programs across the province. Our team of health professionals includes employees, doctors, researchers, learners and volunteers that provide the health care or services you may need. Partnerships are important to us. We work in partnership with community groups, schools, governments, foundations and auxiliaries and community health boards. Whether we are hosting wellness programs in the community, conducting innovative research in labs, or helping a patient recover in hospital; we are creating a healthier Nova Scotia. Cardiometabolic Health, Diabetes and Obesity Research (CMDO) Network: http://www.rrcmdo.ca/en/ We are one of the most recent theme networks funded by the Fonds de recherche Québec - Santé. Our Network brings together more than 156 research teams working across more than 30 institutions in Quebec. The CMDO contributes to projects considered the most relevant not only to the Network’s researchers but also for patients suffering from cardiometabolic illnesses, research institutes and our partners. Another guiding principle of CMDO is the convergence of its objectives and investments across multiple levels permitting the Network to support projects with high potential for scientific impact. Finally, the Network aims to establish international partnerships attracting scientific collaborations, technological transfers, as well as investments from outside of Quebec. We aim to bring together previously unconnected, leading-edge scientific and clinical experts, to provide solid support for existing and future infrastructure, and to develop large, multicentre patient cohorts. Consequently, the CMDO Network meets the criteria of the Ministry of Health and Social Services’ Policy for health and well-being. The CMDO Network’s mission is to conduct research on cardiometabolic health, diabetes and obesity, to widely diffuse its results and to ensure the findings are used to promote the health and quality of life of Quebec citizens. - page 4 - CONFERENCE SPONSORS CIHR Applied Chair in Resilience and Obesity in Youth: http://www.jonmcgavock.com/ The primary objective of Dr. McGavock’s Applied Public Health Chair is to determine if resilience-centered interventions, delivered in schools, are an effective population health approach to support healthy weights in First Nations children living on reserve. This Chair’s research is intended to inform school-based population health interventions for achieving healthy weights in Indigenous children across Canada. University of Guelph-Humber: https://www.guelphhumber.ca/ When UofGH opened its doors in 2002, the intention was to produce a well-prepared university graduate. The world was changing. Expectations were changing. Having the theoretical knowledge and analytical skills acquired through a university education and the applied skills acquired through a college education seemed the perfect answer. Our students graduate with skills designed for today’s world. It’s the blend of theoretical and applied learning that sets us apart. That’s why our students graduate with credentials from both the University of Guelph and Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning - two of Canada’s leading postsecondary institutions. Can-SOLVE CKD Network Indigenous Peoples’ Engagement and Research Council: https://cansolveckd.ca/ The Indigenous Peoples’ Engagement and Research Council (IPERC) serves to guide the conduct of the Network’s activities in accounting for the unique aspects of patient-oriented research involving First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people. Using an ethical framework that encompasses the principles of ownership, control, access and possession (OCAP) and the elements of participatory research, IPERC’s mandate is to ensure that Can-SOLVE CKD appropriately incorporates, addresses and respects the unique needs and perspectives of Indigenous peoples. Members of the council include patients, families, caregivers, elders, educators, and physicians (from the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada), nurses, social workers, and other health professionals, academics, and federal/provincial decision-makers.

  • East Bay Hills Wind Project Mi'kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study
    East Bay Hills Wind Project Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study Prepared for: Cape Breton Hydro Inc. December 2012 – Version 1 M.E.K.S. Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) on behalf of Cape Breton Hydro Inc. (CBHI) for the proposed East Bay Hills Wind Power Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

    1 Changes in the Dawnland Web URL: http://arcg.is/1W6QM0k Tap the play button to animate the map. Beginning of animation: End of animation: For thousands of generations, Wabanaki people have lived across what is now northern New England, the Canadian Maritimes, and Quebec. The arrival of Europeans more than 500 years ago began a process of dramatic and destructive loss that continues today. Much of the Wabanaki homeland was taken through a series of treaties, negotiated between various Wabanaki groups and the French, English, Massachusetts, Maine, and United States governments. Wabanaki and non-Native signatories often had very different ideas and interpretations of what they had agreed to. Wabanaki communities today are working to protect what remains, and to assert their sovereign rights in their homeland, for future generations. For photos and information about Wabanaki communities today, tap here: WABANAKI TODAY 2 Wabanaki Today Web URL: http://arcg.is/1QGlJ7O The Wabanaki Nations – Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot – are thriving and growing in Maine and beyond. We invite you to visit, at least virtually, the many contemporary Wabanaki communities across Ckuwaponahkik, “the land of the dawn.” Click on a community name on a TAB above to learn more about the people and places of the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Abenaki Nations.

We thank all those who have contributed suggested translations and ask for understanding as the Nation works to strengthen and to grow our language. Throughout this volume we have used Mi’kmaw petroglyphs from Kejimkujik, Nova Scotia, for aesthetic and informational purposes. These carvings on stone are a visual journal that depict many different aspects of Mi’kmaw life, including events, people, animals and legends. While we do not know their date, they appear to represent Mi’kmaw life both before and after contact with Europeans more than 500 years ago. The project team would like to acknowledge Gerald R. Gloade for the cover art as well as many of the images (line art and colour images) that are found throughout the volume.
