Thank you, Chair.
It's great to be here in person on this committee. There has been some great testimony.
I have three questions, one for Dr. Anderson, one for Dr. Chen and one for Professor Myers-Smith.
For many years I worked at Cape Breton University and Nova Scotia Community College. While I was at Cape Breton University, I had the privilege of spending some time at Unama'ki College, where the research side was focused on indigenous knowledge, traditional knowledge and western science.
Dr. Anderson, I'm wondering If you can unpack, just briefly, the importance of indigenous knowledge and observations when it comes to climate change in the Arctic. Do you think the indigenous knowledge side is being adequately represented in current studies of climate change in the Arctic?
