Research summary

Since 2020 I have been working on research projects that involve primary data collection to identify correlation between Indigenous health, food and culture. My current working papers are based on a project conducted for Brokenhead Objiwa Nation. Currently, I am conducting a similar project for Norway House Cree Nation. Both communities are located in the province of Manitoba.
