Topic: Indigenous knowledge of berries in the Northwest Territories
Berries are extensively used for food and medicine in northern communities and are also a key food source for many animals. However, changes in wild berry species are increasingly being reported across northern North America, as climates warm and anthropogenic disturbances increase. We conducted 118 interviews of Indigenous knowledge holders in 15 communities across the Northwest Territories to document what is known about berries and where they grow, as well as trends and threats. The project was guided by a committee of knowledge holders and included government, academic, and Indigenous co-researchers. In this talk, I will discuss our results, as well as our experience with the process of conducting this type of collaborative, relationship-building research.
