Description
Aboriginal Policy Research: Voting, Governance, and Research Methodology, volume 10 is a collection of 13 papers about Aboriginal Peoples presented at the Aboriginal Research Policy Conference held in Ottawa in 2009. Co-chaired by Dan Beavon of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Jerry White of the University of Western Ontario, and Peter Dinsdale of the National Association of Friendship Centres, this Aboriginal Research Policy Conference, like those before it, brought researchers, policy-makers, and the Aboriginal community together to make connections, hear about leading research, and learn together. Volume X focuses on issues surrounding voting, governance, and research methodology. Part one includes papers on Aboriginal involvement in federal elections, the link between taxation and good governance, and First Nations financial institutions. Part two includes papers on the Keewaytinook Okimakanak Research Institute and community-driven research in remote First Nations. Part 2 also contains Sisters In Spirit Research Framework by Jennifer King.
