Thank you.
Indeed, the university offers this opportunity to bring indigenous and non‑indigenous people together in the same class or in the same research projects, and to do this braiding of knowledge that we've been talking about for a while.
That's what we do at the École d'études autochtones, a unique multidisciplinary school in Quebec. We aren't a school of anthropology or sociology; we're a school of indigenous studies. The programs we develop and the research projects we conduct are dictated by the indigenous partners we have in the jurisdictions or communities, and we conduct them with indigenous people.
So it's really important to always have collaboration from start to finish and, as we've been saying since the beginning of the meeting, to consider indigenous knowledge and scientific knowledge on an equal footing. That knowledge is not generated in the same way, but it has the same value. In both cases, empirical knowledge is generated by trials and errors, more or less. It's still the same principle, even if the approach is a little different.
