Description

Indigenous science is a distinct, time-tested knowledge system that enhances and complements Western science. As Canada works towards reconciliation, integrating Indigenous knowledge into the workforce can strengthen environmental management practices across the public service.

This knowledge-sharing event features Indigenous scholar and professor Dr. Myrle Ballard, Anishinaabe from Lake St. Martin First Nation, who will share her groundbreaking work bridging Indigenous knowledge with policy, practice, community, academia, and government, including the establishment of Environment and Climate Change Canada’s first permanent Indigenous Science Division.

Participants will learn about Indigenous science concepts such as bridging, braiding and weaving, as well as Three-Eyed Seeing, as part of this exploration of Indigenous contributions to environmental stewardship and policy development.

This event is presented in partnership with Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Speaker

Myrle Ballard, Ph.D., Associate Professor, University of Calgary

Moderator

Jordan Hollman, Environmental Assessment Officer, Environmental Protection Branch, Environment and Climate Change Canada
