Chantelle’s research is based on a community-centered model of exploring the intersection of Indigenous People’s health and knowledge systems within the context of global environmental change. Along with colleagues and community partners in Canada, Hawaii and New Zealand, Chantelle’s current research examines concepts and applied processes of environmental repossession. Another major emphasis of her research program focuses on the concept of relational accountability as it relates to Indigenous research environments.
