The Northern Indigenous Stewardship Circle (NISC), Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre (GCRC) at Carleton University, and Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) collaboratively organized the Indigenous Guardians Data Roundtable, with support from the MakeWay and Oak Foundations.
This gathering was held January 30 and 31, 2024, on the traditional territory of the Yellowknives Dene on Chief Drygeese Territory, as part of Treaty 8, in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Indigenous Guardians and program leads met to discuss data they collect during harvesting and land stewardship programs, use of these data, and needs and priorities relating to data management, including how data management and data sharing can help sustain Guardian programs. This gathering contributes to a broader effort to support direct exchange and learning among Guardian programs in northern Canada and beyond.
