Webinar Summary

Program staff and collection co-authors gave a special presentation to share more about the Indigenous Knowledge and Collaborative Science Resource Collection. The goal of this collection is to support people who want to understand how collaborative science can align with and affirm Indigenous sovereignty and rights to self-determination. The NERRS Science Collaborative program and partners created this collection in response to a need expressed by project teams and reserve partners; namely, to better understand sovereignty and what it means for collaborative science. Together, we are learning how to better support project teams who are working with Native nations or who wish to do so. We hope that the information presented in this collection will help people to better understand the broader context of this topic, and to be respectful of knowledge that is not, and cannot be assumed to be, theirs.
