原住民族營養與環境中心(CINE)由加拿大原住民族領導人所創立，是一個獨立、跨學科的原住民族研究組織和教育資源所在。CINE位於魁北克省麥吉爾大學的麥克唐納校區，為回應原住民族參與研究與教育的需求而創建，以表達他們對傳統食品系統健全度的關懷。環境的惡化對原住民族的健康和生活方式有不良的影響，特別是營養攝取，因為會受到食物與傳統料理方式影響。出於對原住民族的關心，CINE將進行以社區為單位的傳統食物系統研究和教育。自古從原住民社會沿襲而來的環境經驗知識，將會與所有的研究結果進行整合。

The Centre for Indigenous Peoples'' Nutrition and Environment (CINE) is an independent, multi-disciplinary research and education resource for Indigenous Peoples, created by Canada''s Aboriginal leaders. CINE is located on McGill University''s Macdonald Campus, Quebec. CINE was created in response to a need expressed by Aboriginal Peoples for participatory research and education to address their concerns about the integrity of their traditional food systems. Deterioration in the environment has adverse impacts on the health and lifestyles of Indigenous Peoples, in particular nutrition as affected by food and food traditions. In concern with Indigenous Peoples, CINE will undertake community-based research and education related to traditional food systems. The empirical knowledge of the environment inherent in Indigenous societies will be incorporated into all its efforts.
