Description
Summary:This research is in collaboration with Kátł’odeeche First Nation (KFN). The First Nation have occupied their traditional territory in the Northwest Territories’ Dehcho region for thousands of years. Situated in the Mackenzie River Basin, Hay River, Great Slave Lake, Sandy Creek, Buffalo River and Lake are culturally significant bodies of water to the community, as Traditional Knowledge has been passed down for generations through the practice of fish harvesting and monitoring. Kátł’odeeche First Nation is currently developing and implementing a culturally appropriate community-based environmental monitoring program that is driven by Traditional Knowledge and built around seasonal traditional harvesting activities.
