Climate Change and the Inuvialuit of Banks Island, NWT: Using Traditional Environmental Knowledge to Complement Western Science
. Western science, while a valuable means of acquiring knowledge, represents only one set of approaches to knowledge and inquiry. An exclusive focus on scientific data may limit our understanding of climate change and its impact on western Arctic communities. Can other approaches to knowledge and in...
