Title and Abstract
(Times New Roman, 12 font please)
The UNBC First Nations and Anthropology Departments and the Lake
Babine First Nation are proud to offer an Oral History field school in
summer 2011 (subject to sufficient enrolment).
This 9-credit field school will be conducted in the beautiful
traditional territory of the Lake Babine Nation. The Lake Babine
people have generously offered UNBC the opportunity to work closely
with their Elders and knowledge holders to help document aspects of
their Oral History.
This unique course will be offered in two classes. The first class
(FNST 400-3/650-3) will be a one-week intensive course focusing on the
methods, documentation and collection of oral histories from the
perspectives of First Nations Studies and Anthropology. The second
course (ANTH 421-6/621-6) will be a three-week field course in the
traditional territory of the Lake Babine First Nation.
Set in the stunning interior forests that are nestled between the
Omineca and Skeena Mountain Ranges, Lake Babine is British Columbia?s
longest interior freshwater lake, the territory is the final
destination for millions of salmon that migrate from the ocean to
spawn in the interior of the province.
In an ecologically diverse environment the Lake Babine Nation have
lived for thousands of years establishing a rich culture. The Lake
Babine Nation speaks a Na-Dene language, Babine-Witsuwit'en, and
features a rich oral and cultural tradition. Though located on the
interior of British Columbia, the large salmon runs to the interior
tied Lake Babine Nation to the coastal peoples and to those farther in
the interior. Lake Babine Nation is third largest Aboriginal Band in
British Columbia. Lake Babine Administration Office is situated 142
miles West of Prince George, with a total registered membership of
over 2,310 [based on 2008 population]. Lake Babine Nation has 27
reserve lands and three (3) communities, which are inhabited year
round, and two that are inhabited year round from time to time. Lake
Babine Nation features a Band Council governing structure, but with
strong traditional governing structures, the Potlatch and a system of
Hereditary Chiefs, continuing to play an important role in the Lake
Babine Nation. For more information on the Lake Babine Nation:

Population Health Intervention Research Casebook
The Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI) of the Canadian
Institute for Health Information (CIHI), in partnership with the
Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) of the Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), produced a casebook that
showcases population health intervention research (PHIR) in Canada.
The overarching theme that guides the research cases presented in the
casebook is health equity. The content is organized and presented
within three broad categories: exploring implementation processes that
support PHIR; evaluating setting-specific programs; and researching
multi-component, community-wide interventions. Within these
categories, the research cases explore the theoretical and
methodological approaches used in the field of PHIR; demonstrate
impact and lessons learned; illustrate uptake by program planners and
policy decision-makers; and identify implications for research, policy
and practice.

Recueil de cas de recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations
L'Initiative sur la santé de la population canadienne (ISPC) de
l'Institut canadien d'information sur la santé (ICIS) a produit un
recueil de cas sur la recherche interventionnelle en santé des
populations (RISP) au Canada en partenariat avec l'Institut de la
santé publique et des populations (ISPP) des Instituts de recherche en
santé du Canada (IRSC).
Les cas de recherche présentés dans le recueil ont pour thème général
l'équité en matière de santé. Le contenu du recueil est structuré et
présenté selon trois grandes catégories : l'exploration des processus
de mise en œuvre qui appuient la RISP, l'évaluation de programmes
propres au contexte et la recherche d'interventions à plusieurs
éléments à l'échelle de la collectivité. Au sein de ces catégories,
les cas de recherche permettent d'explorer les approches théoriques et
méthodologiques de la RISP, de démontrer les répercussions et les
leçons apprises, d'illustrer l'application des résultats de recherche
par les planificateurs de programmes et les décideurs, et de cerner
les incidences pour la recherche, les politiques et la mise en œuvre.
