I am doing research to find ways of approaching alternative development
through interdisciplinary research and local community initiative.  I
want to make the best use of Native Canadian worldviews in a global
context of alternative sustainable development, which may be ultimately
applied to deforestation in tropical regions, but is also generally
applicable. 

I would greatly appreciate assistance in the following areas:

	Native worldview related to society and the environment,
	Native worldview related to access to natural resources,
	Native worldview related to forest use,
	Native concepts of land ownership and land use,
	Native concepts of sustainable development,
	Native concepts of self-reliance,
	Native interpretations of big business thinking as it
	   is expressed in mass consumer industries,
	Native interpretations of the colonial process,
	Native women's points of view on all these matters,
	Native advice on how to formulate a policy for
	   alternative development,
	Native advice to the global sustainable development
	   effort.

Many thanks in advance,
