This presentation describes a project to create first-generation search filters that retrieve studies from the Ovid MEDLINE database related to Canadian Indigenous Peoples. The filters are designed to be single line searchs that can be “cut and paste” into the OVID Medline search box.

SSHRC PG awarded 2019: In response to the well-documented threats to Indigenous cultures and languages, this Partnership project will support the revitalization and sustained daily use of multiple Indigenous languages by developing modern technological tools and resources for these languages in

collaboration with their respective communities; namely, Plains Cree and Tsuut'ina. Partnerships are with the Maskwacîs Education and Schools Commission (MESC) and the Tsuut'ina Office of the Language Commissioner (TOLC). Our team of documentary and computational linguists, as well as Indigenous communities

representation of the Indian: the Golden Age, the films of the sixties and seventies, and finally the so-called indigenous video. One specific objective of this work is to discuss how the productions made by indigenous mediamakers in Mexico create a space of confrontation and dialogue between the long history of

representations about Indianess that were built by the national culture, and the constructions of indianess made from the perspective of Amerindian knowledge. At the same time there is a discussion about how the videos made by indigenous mediamakers disrupt the national cultural geography and the model of

The Youth Knowledge Fair – in place of a traditional science fair – is a means of implementing land-based education. The Fair engages with traditional Indigenous knowledge within the Makenzie River Basin, under the direction and in partnership with Indigenous communities, but in this case

facilitated by a settler educator. It provides a concrete space to explore land-based education carried out by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people together, in efforts to support both Indigenous resurgence and the “hard unsettling work” required by settler educators. Grounded in Indigenous conceptions of

The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Food Security The Minister of Indigenous Affairs is concerned that Canada’s adoption the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is “without qualification, as Canada’s obligations to fulfil

UNDRIP include free, prior and informed consent” (Fontaine, 2016, para. 2). Many Indigenous communities cannot hunt and harvest for their traditional sources of food owing to the destruction of their eco-systems from corporate resource extraction that is sanctioned by the government. Indigenous Peoples

’ food insecurity is exacerbated by the extremely high food prices in isolated grocery stores. In Marie Battiste’s Nourishing the Learning Spirit (NLS) she discusses the community spirit of Indigenous peoples is nourished through reclaiming their right to control their sources of food traditionally as

adoption and implementation. Adopting and implementing policy to support healthy eating and active living is a complex process especially when worldviews differ (Indigenous and Western). Understanding the local context and how worldviews differed supported a locally and culturally relevant form of policy

development. As a non-Indigenous researcher engaged in research with Indigenous peoples in the Canadian Arctic, a number of tensions arose as I entered the field to begin data collection. These tensions were a result of applying CST. Emancipatory and participatory theoretical and philosophical positions

, such as CST, are supposed to expose Eurocentrism and offer possible paths for an ally working alongside Indigenous peoples. However, seeing my effort in knowledge production from this light has revealed my own potential complicity in colonizing, and thus contributing to the continued suffering of

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: Canadians have recently been engaged in an intensified confrontation with colonial history and the systemic oppression of Indigenous peoples. Growing awareness of this troubling history has resulted in the creation of required Indigenous content courses in teacher education

programs across the country. These courses usually conform to conventional understandings of teaching and learning that share information 'about' Indigenous peoples, but often fail to provide meaningful and transformational contributions to teacher education programs. The fundamental problem is that

educational practices continue to be dominated by colonial worldview that blocks opportunities to learn 'from' Indigenous peoples. Colonial worldview is founded on relationship denial and proclaims Euroheritage knowledge insights to be of most worth. In light of this persistent and ongoing problem, the

SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: This Aboriginal and community-based, participatory research project aims to co-create knowledge about the holistic (emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual) benefits to Indigenous youth of participating in northern games, and to identify factors that might be modified to

maximize positive holistic outcomes for Indigenous youth. We will recruit a purposeful and convenient sample (as described by Patton, 2002) of 50 participants: 30 Indigenous youth between the ages of 15 and 24 years (consistent with Statistics Canada’s definition of youth), 10 parents/guardians, 5 coaches

, and 5 Elders living in Inuvik, NT with experience of northern games. The perspectives of Indigenous peoples are underrepresented in the sport research literature, and it is critical to ensure that sport research more readily acknowledges the encompassing view of sport held by many Indigenous peoples
