The First Nations nutrition experiments were a series of experiments run in Canada by Department of Pensions and National Health (now Health Canada) in the 1940's and 1950's. The experiments involved nutrient-poor isolated communities such as those in The Pas and Norway House in northern Manitoba and in residential schools and were designed to discover relative importance and optimum levels of the then-newly discovered vitamins. The deaths connected with the experiments have been described as 'genocide', but this is not (yet) a mainstream view.
