Description
The research and policy discussions included in Aboriginal Policy Research, Volumes 1 and 2, offer a portion of the original papers presented at the first Aboriginal Policy Research Conference held in Ottawa in 2002. Co-hosted by Indian and Northern Affairs and the University of Western Ontario, the conference promoted interaction between researchers, policy-makers, and Aboriginal peoples. It expanded on the knowledge of the social, economic, and demographic determinants of Aboriginal well-being, and it sought to identify and facilitate the means by which this knowledge may be translated into effective policies. The texts are divided into complementary themes. Volume 1 begins with contextual research, followed by issues of demography and well-being, and concludes with the topical issue of education. The chapters in Volume 2 address the themes of economic development; health; gender issues; and crime, victimization, and healing.
