Description

Using a "theoretical" Mi'kmaw environmental framework, the authors seek to fully understand the environmental health implications of pulp mill effluent discharged into a cultural center near the Pictou Landing First Nation community. The failure to use Indigenous indicators grounded in relational epistemology and ontology has led to the neglect of human health impacts. The authors indicate how the framework developed by Aboriginal people is better able to properly assess the effects of displacement from their land and environmental dispossession on the health of Aboriginal communities.
