Inhaltsangabe

This book discusses the role of social science research in public policy decisions on Aboriginal issues. Aimed at three main constituencies--Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social scientists, government and Aboriginal policymakers, and Aboriginal communities--it has multiple purposes. First, it presents findings from recent research, with the goal of advancing research agenda and stimulating positive social development. Second, it encourages greater links between the social scientific and external research communities and demonstrates the kind of research needed as a foundation for public policy. Finally, it acts a guide to research methods for Aboriginal communities and organizations and promotes cooperation between researchers and Aboriginal peoples in an effort to ensure that research decisions serve both groups equally. It will be a vital addition to public policy and Native studies.
