Exploring ways of coming to know, are demonstrated through a Wholistic exploratory analysis of literature of ways of Indigenous knowledge can be brought into students learning through curricula, pedagogy and also through activities in the classroom. This analysis it supports understandings that

holds the responsibility of Educators for their learning with Indigenous knowledge through Treaty education, ways of Incorporating, Infusing and Including Indigenous knowledge, Decolonizing education and also Reconciliation for Education as foundational entry points with both Indigenous knowledge and

science education. In using theoretical praxis of Wholistic Theory alongside Cultural Interface to support the research question of how and where Science educators can enter their journey to guide students through Indigenous knowledge and Science education? The implications of this research may help to

Introduction. The industrialization of circumpolar regions confronts a legacy of disproportionate bio-physical, socio-economic, heritage, and health impacts borne by indigenous populations. As natural resource development continues to accelerate in the north, concerns about impacts to the health

and well-being of indigenous communities lead many to question whether the benefits of industrialization outweigh the risks. Legally mandated consultation processes to identify and mitigate development impacts are beginning to incorporate provisions for improving health outcomes to maximize the

benefits and minimize the risks for indigenous communities. Nevertheless, the complex nature and diversity of evidence involved necessitates new tools to network information across scientific and cultural gradients, and ensure the long-term viability of health impact assessment within decision-making

history and legacy of residential schooling. I also query the TRC’s approach to reconciliation, which I suggest – along the same lines as David Garneau and others – fundamentally asks Indigenous peoples to reconcile themselves to the power of the state within the current settler colonial structure

, through the Calls to Action. I argue that the theoretical definition of reconciliation and the Calls implicitly exclude political self-determination for Indigenous peoples and thereby fundamentally re-inscribe colonial state power. In Chapter Two, I analyze Robert Arthur Alexie’s Porcupines and China

Dolls, arguing that Alexie’s novel sets up a theory of reconciliation centered around Indigenous self-determination. I conclude that this text suggests that any version of reconciliation will only be possible once Indigenous peoples can exercise autonomous decision-making in spiritual and political

"Background: Despite many improvements, health disparities between indigenous and non-indigenous populations in Canada's North persist. While a strong primary health care (PHC) system improves the health of a population, the majority of indigenous communities are very remote, and their access to

PHC services is likely reduced. Understanding the challenges in accessing PHC services in these communities is necessary to improve the health of the population. Objective: The objective of the study was to document and analyze the challenges in accessing PHC services by indigenous people in remote

, but also need to be actively managed due to a lack of natural predators and the confinement within a 2.2 m high fence that surrounds the Park. EINP has historically used various management methods to control ungulate populations, but stakeholder and Indigenous perceptions of these methods have not

been empirically explored. This study seeks to understand the level of support key stakeholder groups and Indigenous peoples have towards various management methods used in wildlife management in North America, as may be applied to EINP. Additionally, this study seeks to understand broader implications

for perceptions of lethal wildlife management methods, such as hunting. The results from this study have direct implications for wildlife management in EINP and in other parks and protected areas in Canada, that do not possess empirical documentation about stakeholder and Indigenous people’s

Introduction: Improving Indigenous health in Canada means understanding reconciliation as it is presented through an Indigenous lens. Storytelling is a way that many Indigenous peoples pass on history, traditions, knowledge, and wisdom from one generation to another. Truth and Reconciliation

content presented in children's fictional works by Indigenous authors can provide an accessible starting point for anyone wishing to build awareness and cultural competence in Indigenous health. This paper is Part 2 of a two-part study addressing residential school experiences and the reconciliation

process as they appear in children's books authored by Canadian Indigenous peoples. Methods: The Amazon 100 Bestseller Canadian Indigenous Story Books list was sampled over a seven week period; additional titles were gathered from publishers, academic and public library book lists. Books were screened

This thesis explores how employment-related issues within an Indigenous organization may be resolved by using principles sourced from the Cree legal tradition. This inquiry is informed by knowledge gathered from interviews completed with Aseniwuche Winewak Elders and knowledge keepers on their

resolution of employment-related issues in the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation’s fully-owned and operated companies. The review of academic research on Indigenous law and governance highlights the lack of scholarship regarding practical applications of Indigenous law despite the richness and enduring

relevance of these legal traditions and related governance. This thesis addresses this gap by contributing to the scholarship on practical applications of Cree law as it pertains to resolving employment-related issues within a contemporary Indigenous organizational context. The research was conducted
