  • Part G - Acknowledgement

  • All reports and publications are to be shared with the Nunatsiavut Government. Inuit typically express the desire to be recognized as research contributors in final research reports and documents. Publications should include acknowledgement of all research participants who wish to be acknowledged, including elders, to the fullest extent possible. Researchers should present the results of the research in the community or the nearest community to where they conducted their research prior to communicating results at conferences or through articles and other publications. If community members are included in the design, implementation or dissemination of research results, please allocate the appropriate funding within the project budget to enable community research partners who are interested to (co)present at conferences and other research forums as is appropriate. A plain language summary detailing the work conducted should be provided to the Nunatsiavut Government once the field season is completed and translated into the Nunatsiavut Inuttitut dialect (roman orthography). A list of translators from Nunatsiavut can be obtained from the Inuit Research Advisor. The NGRAC suggests that you consider interviews on the regional radio and TV station (OKalaKatiget Society, (709) 922-2955). Some other permits that may be required as part of your research are: - Firearms FAC and transportation permit; - Federal permits for research on birds. A scientific permit is required for collections birds, birds tissues (e.g. feathers, blood, etc.), attachment of ancillary markers (e.g. nasal tags, radio transmitters, etc.); - Federal permits for banding to mark birds with bands. The banding permit requires special amendments if auxiliary markers are being used; - Canadian Wildlife Service Scientific permit; - Fisheries and Oceans Canada permit. Any research activity conducted on Labrador Inuit Lands (LIL) by someone other than a beneficiary of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement may require a Land Use Permit as per Part 4 of the Labrador Inuit Lands Act. The NGRAC will contact you if a Permit to Access Inuit Lands is required. The final decision on a Land Use application will be made by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources based on the recommendations of the Nunatsiavut Government Research Advisory Committee.
