The research protocol was developed in order to provide the communities with a reference guide that would enable them to better monitor the various activities and numerous demands related to the research carried out in their territories. It is also a guide that can meet the expectations and issues of concern of the communities with respect to research. The protocol proposes tools that can actualize and bring into realization the content of the protocol: research permit, consent form, etc. Finally, the development of proper research principles and practices aims at guarantying good research processes in First Nation communities.
