A 2019 study co-authored by Gitga’at First Nation and University of Victoria researchers that developed a social-ecological monitoring program rooted in Indigenous knowledge. It is intended to serve as a model for integrating Indigenous knowledge into ecological monitoring efforts.
An article about a comprehensive study (the First Nations Food, Nutrition and Environment Study or FNFNES) by the Assembly of First Nations, University of Ottawa, and Université de Montréal on levels of food insecurity in First Nations communities. The research explains how environmental degradation diminishes access to traditional foods, which impacts the health of First Nations individuals, and how there is an urgent need for policy to address these issues.

According to W̱SÁNEĆ oral history, the W̱SÁNEĆ people have lived on their territorial homelands back to the time of creation. The W̱SÁNEĆ way of life has been passed on to each succeeding generation through an educational way, centered in large part on the W̱SÁNEĆ Reef Net Fishery. This fishing practice formed the backbone of W̱SÁNEĆ culture and society. Despite being protected by the Douglas Treaty of 1852, over the next 163 years of colonization, the knowledge, ceremony, practice, and educational way of the SX̱OLE (Reef Net) was nearly lost. Using a framework for Indigenous Resurgence, this dissertātiō or path focuses on the revitalization and restoration of the SX̱OLE. This resurgent path described herein tells the story of how the “researcher” pulled together the disappearing knowledge of the SX̱OLE, reinvigorated cross border cooperation between the W̱SÁNEĆ and their Xwelemi relatives, and how after being named ȻWENÁLYEN, or the Reef Net Captain through ceremony was able to coordinate the community based creation and fishing of the first SX̱OLE on Canadian waters in 100 years. This resurgent path is just the beginning of a long and endless journey forward by looking backward, where the W̱SÁNEĆ people can be a proud people of the SX̱OLE once again.

Abstract: "The evolution of the Stanford Health Library Web site from its inception ten years ago to its current form is described. The site, originally intended to function as an additional branch, has evolved into a true virtual branch for the consumer health library. A customer service orientation and a marketing model guided its development. Benefits to the library are discussed, as are structure and content of the current site. The existence of an online branch has allowed the Health Library to expand its patron base, enhance both traditional and virtual services, and integrate more fully its physical branches and parent institution, Stanford University Hospital."
