The University of Ottawa hosts an interesting website & blog called the Indigenous Health Research Group, which brings together a group of researchers (the primary focus in this case being local dietary and physical activity practices/habits) and indigenous communities and remote First Nations in Canada’s north.
I was interested in their blog and other materials because the research focuses so heavily on collaboration with communities rather than strict ‘intervention’. For example, these researchers (a very interdisciplinary team) work to help increase access to traditional/wild foods, and help to encourage traditional cultivation, or to encourage things like the Bison hunt in generations who may not have experienced these traditional activities. This helps disparate/isolated communities to regain their self-reliance and to diminish their need for imported foods.
