Food consumption surveys in aboriginal communities present special challenges to researchers. This paper reports the approaches taken in response to the challenges encountered in a dietary survey in three northern Manitoba Cree communities. Discussion focuses on community involvement, understanding local customs and food habits, working with local interviewers, logistical issues, and aspects of research design. By sharing their collective knowledge, a team of local interviewers, health practitioners, and researchers were able to find practical solutions to the challenges encountered in the design and implementation of a dietary survey. While solutions found in one community may not be appropriate elsewhere, it is hoped that sharing this information will help others, including aboriginal communities, plan more effective dietary surveys.
