KNT22 - Approaches and outcomes of Indigenous-led programs for research, monitoring and environmental stewardship using apps and technology

sponsored by Nunavut Wildlife Management Board

In this session, we invite community-led monitoring, research, and guardians programs to share their methods and lessons learned with one another and the broader Arctic research community. In particular, presenters will focus on the technologies, team structures, and other Indigenous-centered techniques being used to support collecting and mobilizing data. Presenters will also share about their context and motivations, the types of data they are prioritizing, and project impacts. The goal of this session is to highlight the strengths across community-led monitoring and research projects, to identify common challenges, and to share ideas, tools, and frameworks that may be of use to other programs. 

A 15-minute question-and-answer session will take place at the end of the presentations.

Co-Chairs: Billy Nicoll, Arctic Eider Society
