Land-Based Indigenous Science workshops

“Scientists are looking at what is in the cup, while we were using our Indigenous Knowledge 
to look at what was happening outside the cup – to show that our water was not safe 

to drink or to swim in. That the moose are dead.” 

(Robert Spence, Ithinew – Cree)
