"How do you measure the loss of a lake?": Assessing community relevance of health impact assessment frameworks to the Tl'azt'en nation of northern-interior British Columbia.

The purpose of this research was to critically engage a contemporary means by which impacts to Indigenous health are gauged during federal and/or provincial environmental assessments (EAs). Specifically, I was interested in the utility of health impact assessments (HIAs) conducted during environment...
