As I mentioned, along with other experts from the respective regions of Alaska, Greenland, Canada, and Chukotka, I'm bringing Inuit expertise together in Ottawa to have a dialogue regarding the Arctic: changing climate conditions, the ice conditions, and how sustainable communities are trying to adapt, to gain a better understanding of how each of these regions and communities are trying to deal with such matters.
It's to learn from each other first and then to take that knowledge and information home to see if it will be applicable within our own backyards. It's also to document this as part of our requirements of this project within the Arctic Council. Moving forward in this workshop is the first step that will be undertaken.
