Abstract
In 2008, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Inuit Tuttarvingat of the National Aboriginal Health Organization collaborated to provide input to national discussions of research ethics and processes in the Canadian Arctic. This paper describes the work of Inuit Nipingit (National Inuit Committee on Ethics and Research) during two years from 2008 to 2010. The Inuit Nipingit committee was concerned with research and its ethics environment as faced by Inuit as research participants, researchers, and those being consulted on research proposals. Members of this national committee discussed Canada’s ethical guidelines for research and responded to a call for input into the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. In an effort to support capacity building, Inuit Nipingit also produced reference materials for Inuit community members and anyone concerned in research involving Inuit.
Résumé
En 2008, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami et Inuit Tuttarvingat de l’Organisation nationale de la santé autochtone collaborèrent afin de contribuer aux débats nationaux sur l’éthique et les processus de la recherche dans l’Arctique canadien. Cet article décrit les travaux qu’Inuit Nipingit (Comité national inuit sur l’éthique et la recherche) a menés durant deux ans, de 2008 à 2010. Le comité d’Inuit Nipingit se préoccupait de la recherche et de son cadre éthique tels qu’ils se présentaient aux Inuit en tant que participants, chercheurs ou ceux consultés concernant des propositions de recherche. Les membres de ce comité national ont discuté des lignes directrices sur l’éthique dans la recherche émises par le Canada et ont répondu à une consultation de l’Énoncé de politique des trois Conseils: Éthique de la recherche avec des êtres humains . Dans le souci de soutenir le renforcement des capacités, l’Inuit Nipingit a également produit du matériel de référence destiné aux membres des communautés inuit et à toute personne concernée par la recherche impliquant des Inuit.
