      Land Guardians at Nishichawayasihk

      Date: August 18, 2020


      The Kis Kin Ha Ma Ki Win team visited the Land Guardians of Nishichawayasihk to learn about their program and make connections with the community and surrounding ecosystems. The 2 teams also discussed the management/tasks associated with being a Land Guardian of the North, the impacts of hydro development, future engagements and collaborations, and ran scientific water quality tests with the Kis Kin Ha Ma Ki Win team’s mobile lab kits.

        and reagents used in the water quality tests
      • Turbidity tests determine the clarity of the water
      • The team also took a tour of the surrounding water systems to collect more samples
        and analyze the impact of hydro development on shorelines and water quality.

        The waterlines on the rocks and granite indicate the level of fluctuation.
      • Traditional stories describe the significance of the historical site on the lands of Nisichawayasihk
      • The team also interviewed a local knowledge holder to discuss the changes
        of the environment after hydro development and the importance of land based education.
