I'll even highlight that I've actually worked with the member's brother, Syd, with the Canadian Wildlife Service in some pollination work.
One thing that I think is really important is that.... Again, we might have perspectives, western ideas of biodiversity based on typical taxonomy or something like genetics and phylogenetics. In a lot of our work, we try to explain some of those drivers that result in certain species being there or certain species not being there, certain species being able to provide some sort of ecosystem service, and again, we're utilizing very western conceptual ways of understanding landscapes.
What indigenous knowledge and indigenous science bring us is more alternative hypotheses, more alternative types of data, ways to characterize landscapes, ways to characterize biodiversity and those relationships that, say, a pollinator might have with flowers or that caribou might have with certain foraging areas or, similarly, that the beluga might have with particular areas.
Bringing that knowledge is really important.
