Nov 23rd, 2008 by Steffanie Reid
Website: http://www.ecoknow.ca/index.html
This is the website for a research group, based out of UBC, that focuses on ecological knowledge research done in collaboration with Indigenous communities along the north coast of BC.
Participants in the research group include students and professors from the Anthropology department at UBC and members of the Gitxaala Nation.
This group has had seven papers based on their research published in the Canadian Journal of Native Education so far.
Information contained on the website includes: an introductory page, background, communities, research, seminars and education materials.
A great site showing the possibilities when western science works in collaboration with indigenous knowledge.
