This video explores the relationship between Indigenous knowledge and Western science through work with Ocean Networks Canada.

’Qátuw̓as explores the relationship between Indigenous knowledge and Western science through her relationship to place and work with Ocean Networks Canada. As society is attempting to drive forward with reconciliation and response to climate change, it is important to learn from evidence-based knowledge that has been built over generations. By examining our relationship with the lands and waters, of which Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are part, she urges for a reconsideration of how society frames the management of, and our interactions with, the natural world and all non-human life.
