    Open AccessDanielle Alcock, Jennifer Elgie et al.ARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2017

    Few institutionalized examples exist wherein Indigenous communities have participated in the co-development of ethics initiatives. This article explores one such process—the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). A MOU is a document created between institutional and community research partners to outline project guidelines. Based on Canadian MOUs developed between 1980 and 2016, this research has four objectives; (a) to describe current trends of MOU…

  • Indigenous Educational Attainment in Canada

    Open AccessCatherine E Gordon, Catherine Gordon et al.ARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2014Cited by: 3

    In this article, the educational attainment of Indigenous peoples of working age (25 to 64 years) in Canada is examined. This diverse population has typically had lower educational levels than the general population in Canada. Results indicate that, while on the positive side there are a greater number of highly educated Indigenous peoples, there is also a continuing gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Data also indicate that the p…

  • Policy Research: Good or Bad

    Open AccessJerry P WhiteARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2013

    Canada went through a tough discussion in July 2013 when it was revealed that between 1942 and 1952 unethical and harmful research was conducted on Aboriginal peoples, most of whom were children. Beyond simply condemning unethical research with Indigenous populations, we need to examine why this happened and understand what the implications and lessons are for "policy research" moving forward. Policy research is a powerful tool when conducted in …

  • Editors’ Commentary: The Challenges in Improving Indigenous Educational Attainment

Despite gains in education among Aboriginal peoples in Canada, there continues to be gaps in educational attainment. This editors' introduction explores some of the realities underlying educational trends among Indigenous peoples in order to set the stage for the articles…

  • More Research Needed

    Open AccessJerry P WhiteARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2012

    We feel it is important to identify research areas that are understudied. Certainly, the impact of economic development on or near Indigenous lands is one such area. In this issue, we have three feature articles that approach the issue of economic development in terms of policies, impacts, and benefits. What is clear is that we need a much better understanding of the benefits and perils that come with development. We also need better cooperation …

  • Reflecting on the State of the Iipj and the Condition of Indigenous Peoples Around the World

    Open AccessJerry P WhiteARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2012

    As we come to the end of 2012, it is natural for the IIPJ contributors, readers, staff, and volunteers to reflect on the work of the Journal and on the reason we all contributed to that work. The year has been, by any standards, a real success. Yet, when we look worldwide, there is still much work to be done. Take, for example, the continuing gap in well-being; it is clear that there are some common problems across the more developed countries. W…

    On June 11, 2009, the Director General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret Chan, announced that the scientific evidence indicated that the criteria for an influenza pandemic had been met: pandemic H1N1/09 virus, the first in nearly 40 years, was officially upon us.

    Au Canada, les évaluations portant sur l'éducation des Premières Nations et des autochtones manquent de véritable modélisation concernant les raisons sous-jacentes à des schémas particuliers d'acquisition.

  • Everyday experiences of implicit rationing: Comparing the voices of nurses in California and British Columbia

    Open AccessIvy Lynn Bourgeault, Pat Armstrong et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2001Cited by: 5

    Managed Care in the U.S. is one of the more controversial strategies to implicitly ration health care. It has also been creeping into Canada where care is similarly being managed albeit in a different socio-political environment. Based on nine group interviews with 35 RNs in California and 10 group interviews with 39 RNs in British Columbia, we find that the price to be paid for the promise of cheaper, more efficient health care through manageria…
