Beyond Arctic PASSION: Jackie Dawson helps connect data, AI and Indigenous Knowledge

Before a hunter travels across sea ice, a ship enters Arctic waters, or a community plans for changing wildlife or resources, they need reliable information about what is happening now and what may happen next. But that information is often fragmented, spread across satellite data, scientific research programs, community monitoring initiatives and generations of Indigenous knowledge.

Indigenous Affirmation

We pay respect to the Algonquin people, who are the traditional guardians of this land. We acknowledge their longstanding relationship with this territory, which remains unceded. We pay respect to all Indigenous people in this region, from all nations across Canada, who call Ottawa home. We acknowledge the traditional knowledge keepers, both young and old. And we honour their courageous leaders: past, present, and future.
