Indigenous Water Governance in the Context of Environmental Change

PKA-2021-0025

$439,373.00

Sep 9, 2020 - Mar 31, 2023

This community-based research project directly contributes to land claim implementation by asking how to build [the Tagish and Tlingit people of Carcross/Tagish First Nation (C/TFN)]’s capacity to both understand the current state of water and to protect the water using the best available tools from Western and Indigenous knowledge systems. To achieve this, [C/TFN] will: 1) Develop a C/TFN water strategy including draft water legislation and regulations; 2) Use water chemistry, spatial and Indigenous research methods to identity water data gaps and analyze aquatic (biophysical and cultural) risk; and 3) Create a community-based water monitoring and enforcement plan for the water strategy and legislation. This project engages C/TFN Citizens in all phases of the project through Indigenous knowledge research that builds capacity building mobilizes knowledge for water governance and cultural revitalization.

Polar Knowledge Application Program

This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
