I think it's enormously valuable. First, because indigenous peoples are an inherent and fundamental part of life in Canada, we can't possibly study that aspect of who we are or our history without doing it in collaboration and in the spirit of reconciliation. That means respecting the history of indigenous peoples, coming to the table as equals, and understanding their experiences and their cultures.
I also think that there's a false idea that somehow indigenous knowledge is in competition with the scientific method. I've seen much more that indigenous knowledge can feed into, strengthen and add perspectives to the scientific method, and that strengthens our science.
