I'll just speak to some of that, and I'll give you an example about traditional knowledge. There are a number of different terms for it—traditional knowledge, northern knowledge. It's the knowledge that Inuit have about the land and what happens on the land, and they have a lot of it. It goes back to this consultation we were talking about earlier, about people actually listening to what the community has to say. The community has a lot to say, and it's very important stuff.
It's getting better, but there's almost a kind of silo approach, where you have contemporary science on one hand and traditional knowledge on the other, and there's none of this.... One of the main things we're trying to do as an organization is to blur that line between the two types of knowledge.
Inuit culture is an oral passing down from one generation to another. Where are the good hunting grounds? Where are the caribou? Where are the migration routes? All that stuff is important for proponents who are going to be doing, say, exploration activity. You don't want to be flying your helicopter over those caribou herds when they're migrating, because it scares them. So it is valuable knowledge. If you ignore it and you are flying that helicopter over those caribou and you are scaring those caribou, the hunters aren't going to be too happy about that. Then when you go back into the community looking for support for your particular project, the community is going to remember that you really didn't listen to them when they told you that you don't go there in July because that's when the caribou are....
To give you maybe a more concrete example, there's a little community up on Ellesmere Island called Grise Fiord.
