Descripción: The primary goal of this research is to document local perspectives by presenting a set of commentaries and meanings, in the form of narratives, related to environmental health conceptions on an Oji-Cree reserve in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. Through an ethnographic case study, this research explores how the modern-day production of a sociocentric and ecocentric self, as ethnic marker and moral category, is contributing to environmental/community health and well-being on Native reserves. Cultural representations of personhood and community based on the Medicine Wheel model, as a cognitive model, create an ontological paradigm that promotes a holistic foundation for human behaviour and interaction, as well as healthy, sustainable communities.
The research upon which this paper was based was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science (ref. I+D+i SEJ2005-09344/SOCI) and the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (ref. I+D+i CURA/NORTHERN).
