Weaving Knowledge Systems In Wildlife And Ecosystem Health
In the last decade, post-secondary institutions and academics have been called upon to advance their understanding of reconciliation and to mainstream reconciliation in all aspects of the scientific endeavor. Wildlife and ecosystem health is a shared concern between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Can...

In the last decade, post-secondary institutions and academics have been called upon to advance their understanding of reconciliation and to mainstream reconciliation in all aspects of the scientific endeavor. Wildlife and ecosystem health is a shared concern between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians and weaving Indigenous and Western-based ways of knowing can provide a holistic approach and understanding to these problems. To date there is no known study that reviews the literature on weaving ways of knowing in wildlife and ecosystem health. We conducted a systematic review of the peer-reviewed and grey literature (6,991 publications) – screening for and including studies that weave Indigenous and Western-based ways of knowing to study wildlife health and environmental contaminants in the Canadian context. We coded information from several categories including publication timing and frequency, study locations, research partners and Indigenous knowledge holder information, wildlife health stressors, ecological scale and research subject, methods and methodologies, Indigenous participation across research stages, and outcomes and results sharing to assess trends related to knowledge weaving. We found 17 studies that satisfied our inclusion criteria, most of which took place in Canada’s north (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Nunavut, and Nunavik).
