Speaking of opportunities, even the U.S. government has adopted a policy to integrate into every federal agency indigenous knowledge when it comes to science and research. For example, NASA has approached us, and me especially, to advise it on how to approach these communities in the north and engage them in science and research. Really, it's community-based, asking the people, “What are your priorities in research and science?”
It's going in the right direction. I hope researchers are going in the right direction in Canada too.
