Native Health in British Columbia: A Vital Statistics Perspective; Mind-Body-Place. A Geography of Aboriginal Health in British Columbia; Changing Traditional Diet and Nutrition in Aboriginal Peoples of Coastal British Columbia.

A Journey through the Tsewultun Health Centre/Huyseep qu nu siiye'yu kwun's 'i m'i ewu'u. Rebuilding: Listen with the Ears of your Eyes.
