Publications

For the Year 4 reporting period, the Shkaakaamikwe gchi twaa miigwewin teams have focused extensively on all aspects of research dimensions, from inception of projects; collaboration, building, and strengthening of community partnerships; conducting research in a variety of Indigenous-based methodologies, depending on the needs, values, and practices of their communities; and multiple avenues of dissemination.

Co-investigators and collaborators were contacted to provide updates and lists of various publications, including community and academic settings. Collected publications include community reports; non-peer reviewed articles/publications; academic and community presentations; knowledge translation reports; and evaluation reports provided to service providers or communities. The provided publications list is not exhaustive for all members; some reporting members for the annual report noted that they had published separately from their work on their respective theme groups and were not included in their general updates. Others provided updates of all publications during this reporting period, and some included publications that, while separate from their Shkaakaamikwe gchi twaa miigwewin theme group, continued to contribute to the field their theme group supports.
