The Canadian Environmental Assessment Research Council (CEARC) held several regional workshops across Canada to foster discussion on northern and Aboriginal understandings of environmental health issues. Many broad recommendations emerged: ∗ the health of a community should be understood before a development project is underway; ∗ the impacts of an existing industrial site on a community over time should be understood by actually studying whether there is industry-related diseases (such as cancer or lung problems) developing in that community; ∗ a communication approach that provides scientific information on contaminants to northern communities should be developed; ∗ a constructive and respectful way of understanding what northerners consider to be a danger to their health should be developed. This study is a critical response to these recommendations. It examines the cultural basis of risk perception and the importance of local knowledge in changing the assessment and management of health risks.

  • Horse Traders, Card Sharks and Broken Promises: the Contents of Treaty #3 a Detailed Analysis December 21, 2011
    Horse Traders, Card Sharks and Broken Promises: The Contents of Treaty #3 A Detailed Analysis December 21, 2011 Many people have studied, written about and talked about Canada's 1873 Treaty #3 with the Saulteaux Anishnaabek over 55,000 square miles west of Lake Superior. We are not the first nor the last. We are not legal experts or historians. Being grandmothers, we have skills of observation and commitment to future generations. Our views are our own. We don't claim to represent any community, tribe or nation though we are confident many people agree with us. We do think everyone in this land has a duty to know about the history that has brought us to this time. Our main purpose here is to prompt discussion of these important matters. Treaty 3 was a definitive one that shaped the terms of the next several Treaties 4 - 7. Revisions to 1 and 2 also resulted from it. The later treaties used Treaty 3 as a role model. For the 1905 Treaty 9 with the James Bay Cree, this was difficult because the Dominion Government was trying to pay even less for the Cree territory than they had for the Saulteaux Ojibwe territory. The Cree were fully aware of what had gone on. In our view, a Treaty is something that must be reviewed, renewed and reconfirmed at regular intervals in order for it to maintain its authority with the signatories. If anyone fails to adhere to the Treaty terms, then it becomes a broken Treaty no longer valid. Can a broken jug hold water? INTENT OF THE TREATIES - A Program to Steal the Land by Conciliatory Methods (Note#4,5) In this article, we examine some of the key elements of Treaty #3 aka the North-West Angle Treaty.

The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people.

The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Indigenous cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises.

  • Section M: Community Support
    Section M: Community Support Page 251 of 653 Community Support Health Canada’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services has developed the Children’s Services Reference Chart for general information on what types of health services are available in the First Nations’ communities. Colour coding was used to indicate where similar services might be accessible from the various community programs. A legend that explains each of the colours /categories can be found in the centre of chart. By using the chart’s colour coding system, resource teachers may be able to contact the communities’ agencies and begin to open new lines of communication in order to create opportunities for cost sharing for special needs services with the schools. However, it needs to be noted that not all First Nations’ communities offer the depth or variety of the services described due to many factors (i.e., budgets). Unfortunately, there are times when special needs services are required but cannot be accessed for reasons beyond the school and community. It is then that resource teachers should contact Manitoba’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services to ask for direction and assistance in resolving the issue. Manitoba’s Regional Advisor, Children’s Special Services, First Nations and Inuit Health Programs is Mary L. Brown.

While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.
