Deadlines moved from winter, through spring and now fall, but we believe the wait has been worthwhile. This is a special issue of Pimatisiwin for several reasons: the theme, the focus on northern Canadian issues, and the sponsorship of this issue by the T??ch? Government. The T??ch? Government is an Aboriginal government established in 2005 with a Land Claim and Self Government Agreement that recognizes ownership of over 39,000 sq km of land in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Their purpose is to preserve, and protect their Aboriginal and Treaty rights including their T??ch? language, culture, and way of life “for as long as the land shall last.” We have been told this sponsorship is a first for Pimatisiwin, and we welcome the T??ch? Government’s support for Aboriginal and Indigenous community health research.

机译：截止日期从冬天到春天一直到现在秋天，但是我们相信等待是值得的。这是Pimatisiwin的特刊，有以下几个原因：主题，对加拿大北部问题的关注，以及T？ch？政府。 T ?? ch？政府是根据《土地所有权和自治政府协议》于2005年成立的原住民政府，该协议承认加拿大西北地区39,000平方公里的土地所有权。他们的目的是维护和保护其原住民和条约权利，包括其T？ch？语言，文化和生活方式“只要土地能持续多久”。我们被告知这项赞助是Pimatisiwin的首次赞助，我们欢迎T？ch？政府对原住民和土著社区健康研究的支持。
