Tracking Change: Local and Traditional Knowledge in Watershed Governance (File number: 895-2015-1024 University of Alberta)
No full textTracking Change is a network of Indigenous/community organizations, governments and academics aimed at building capacity to document and share local and traditional knowledge (LTK) about social-ecological change in the Mackenzie River, Lower Mekong, and Lower Amazon basins; and determine its’ role in watershed governance. Community-Based Projects were funded (through a proposal-submission process) in each of 2016 and 2017. Twelve community-led projects involving more than 30 communities took place in 2016-2017; they involved similar research methods and activities including fish camps, canoe trips, youth-elder knowledge exchanges, semistructured interviews, and workshops. A Community-Based Research Toolbox, developed collaboratively with communities in the Mackenzie River Basin and those working in the Mekong and Amazon (Tapojos) watershed, has been a key outcome of the project to date and is anticipated to become the basis of a collection of publications on community-based monitoring. This Midterm Report provides an overall view of what the partnership has accomplished by the midpoint of the award, and provided sufficient information to allow the Midterm Review Committee to assess the progress of activities undertaken. It is both a description of the activities and accomplishments to the mid term, and a forward-looking document that confirms and updates the plan of activities designed to ensure the achievement of the stated goals and objectives of the partnership

Get PDFThe Lower Mackenzie sits within the jurisdiction of the Government of the Northwest Territories. The watershed is recognized internationally as an important area of ecological biodiversity. It is one of the largest deltas in North America and has been a focus of exploration and development for many decades.
The Mackenzie Delta is home to many Inuvialuit and Gwich’in peoples who value the region and its resources according to a rich and diverse number of socio-economic, cultural, and ecological values. In addition to being an important area of subsistence, the channels of the lower Mackenzie Delta have always been important travel corridors for Indigenous peoples as well as explorers, whalers, trappers, missionaries, and those seeking to discover and extract natural gas resources. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans and later the Gwich’in Renewable Resources

No full textMining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth such as metals, precious gems, coal, gravel, and more. Mining also includes the extraction of non-renewable resources such as petroleum and natural gas. Mining is a human activity that is a large part of both our history and our current life. While mining is necessary to how our current society functions, it also has some disadvantages. It impacts local ecosystems and causes major environmental issues, such as water pollution. Mines impact the health of the fish and wildlife near the mines and connected waterways, which is an issue for many Indigenous communities who rely on the fish and wildlife for food
