Q
What are the five steps of research and monitoring?
A
- We must decide what we feel needs to be researched. We may need some help, but we must make the final decision
- We must choose who will do the research. We can tell the difference between someone who wants to do the job for us and someone who wants to do the job for himself (or for someone outside interest)
- All research must include our own people. We must learn the neccessary skills so we will be able to do our own research in the future
- The results of the research must belong to us. It is no good sitting in a University or in some government office filing cabinet. Much research has already been done, but we are not able to get our hands on it
- All recent research about Yukon Idians should be given to us
