Yes, I could.
Inuit are very eager to be part of the western scientific process. They're very eager to contribute their traditional knowledge, and they're also very eager to participate in what we often refer to as western science. I think the mechanisms are mostly process oriented. We're not just talking about hiring Inuit at the local level to go out and count fish. That may be one job for one person, but we're talking about using traditional knowledge that's been passed on from grandmother to grandfather to grandson to people who are living there today. Inuit observe animal migration patterns. They know if things have changed. They've been told by their great-grandparents that patterns change and animals disappear.
Connected a bit to your last question, we were told very recently, not even decades ago, that some things are changing. The animal migration patterns are changing. They were the first to tell us about climate change. Many people didn't listen. The mechanisms are: let's have greater partnerships, greater building relationships between academia, the member states of the eight countries, and especially Canada, and the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples. But not only traditional knowledge—through their land claims processes and the land claim settlements, Inuit have created corporations and companies that are very willing to participate in other ways as well.
Thank you.
