Water Knowledge Camps

This project uses annual Cross-Cultural Research Camps in the Northwest Territories as a step towards the goals of building stronger partnerships between researchers and community members through enhanced conversation and understanding of one another, and will help to build an environmental monitoring program. The camps are designed to learn more about the local waters and environment through interactive experiences rooted in traditional “way of life” practices on the land, consideration of knowledge sources and how it is communicated at different scales, and using science-based research, monitoring questions, and methods.
