 Globe and Mail coverage of the report:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com//news/national/oil-sands-pollutants-affect-first-nations-diets-according-to-study/article19484551

Excerpt from article:

Titled Environmental and Human Health Implications of the Athabasca Oil
Sands for the Mikisew Cree First Nation and Athabasca Chipewyan First
Nation in Northern Alberta, the report will add to calls for sober second
thought to ramping up oil sands production. The executive summary of the
research said both First Nations living downstream of the megaprojects want
a greater say in the pace of development and environmental regulations.

I didn't find a link to the report, but the author is  Stéphane McLachlan
at U of Manitoba.
