Exploring Distinct Indigenous Knowledge Systems to Inform the Sustainability of Fisheries on Canada's Three Coasts and Inland Region
This discussion will share the findings of a seven-year pan-Canadian research partnership between the Assembly of First Nations and Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia), focusing on how distinct Indigenous Knowledge Systems can be used to better inform efforts aimed at sustaining fisheries on Canada's three coasts and the Inland region. The potential for an increased awareness and understanding of the differing worldviews underpinning Western and Indigenous approaches to fisheries governance, using case studies from across Canada, allows for both opportunities to be seized and barriers to be overcome as Canada attempts to improve its relationship with Indigenous Peoples.
Led by Dr. Lucia Fanning, Marine Affairs Program, Dalhousie University, Indigenous and non-Indigenous members of the research team from Nova Scotia, Ontario, British Columbia and Nunavut will share findings and engage participants in discussing their findings. The research team acknowledges funding support from its partner organizations and communities and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
