This mandate involves coordinating with Cree communities, organizations, and existing research governance initiatives to ensure that research projects involving Eeyou Istchee are directed to the appropriate review process. Existing Cree research review protocols, approval processes, and governance mechanisms would remain active and respected. Aashukin’s role would be to help identify which process applies, direct researchers toward existing protocols when they are already in place, and support coordination between partners so that no research project falls through the cracks.
Where a project is not already covered by an existing Cree review process, the Iiyiyuu Research Review Panel would provide a regional mechanism for review. This Panel will support Cree communities and organizations by reviewing projects that are not otherwise being assessed, while recognizing that final authority remains with the relevant Cree communities, organizations, or authorities.
