    Aboriginal tourism in northern Canada : how collaborative research can improve community engagement in tourism projects
    (Sylvie Blangy (consultant), 2008) Blangy, Sylvie; McGinley, Robin; Chevalier, Jacques M.
    Situated in the James Bay area, the Cree Nation is comprised of 15,000 people in nine communities spread out over 350,000 square kilometers. The project’s goal is to position Eeyou Istchee (the traditional territory and homeland of the Cree) as a Cree tourism destination for external markets. Participants were able to share knowledge, build bridges, develop links between communities and operators, and work together at the regional level. Community Tourism Officers were provided with tools they can use independently at the community level and for other meetings (Band Council).

    Co-management of natural resources across “Radical Differences” : case study of the Yshiro in Paraguay; final technical report
    (Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John's, NL, CA, 2013-07) Blaser, Mario
    Potential exists for introducing balance in the chain of accountability through which foreign funders, local non-indigenous institutions and grassroots indigenous organizations find themselves connected. The project was able to change the disposition inside the Yshiro communities with regards to what consultation and participation can mean. To counter superficial consultations with indigenous communities and organizations, such groups need two things: to have a clear idea of what meaningful consultation might look like; and some basic tools to disrupt the smoothness of ‘token consultations and participation.’ The report outlines project outputs and outcomes, with Annexes in Spanish.

    International small-fisheries learning exchange : a people’s PAR; a reflection paper for the 2013 IDRC / Coady Canadian Learning Forum
    (Bay of Fund Marine Resource Centre, 2013) Pictou, Sherry; Bull, Arthur
    Participatory action learning and research or Participatory Action Research (PAR) has been central to the work of the Bay of Fundy Marine Resource Centre (MRC) over the past decade. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the PAR approach as constituting research excellence in the context of the International Small Scales Fisheries Learning Exchange (ISSFLE). In support of its international work, the MRC worked with several local Nova Scotia-based groups that became the key participants in the learning exchange. The paper describes details of the project while reflecting on research excellence.
