This qualitative study utilizes the principles of Community-Based Participatory Research, which emphasizes the importance of incorporating local knowledge, respecting intellectual property rights, and working with communities as co-researchers.We have spent two months in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) in the Northwest Territories, building relationships with locals and collaboratively planning a research project that will address their concerns. We have been working with organizers of the Tracking Change to engage youth on climate change issues.
