PhD student Dylan Seidler (centre) and panel presenters Maria Fernanda, Morales Camacho, Oluwakemi Dada, and Xochitl Edua Elias Ilosvay during their session "Climate change. adaptation and small-scale fisheries" at the MARE: People and the Sea conference in Amsterdam.
John Winters (Hopedale Inuit Research Coordinator) starts off a session at ArcticNet 2022 in which the Inuit Research Coordinators share their experience assessing the 2021 On the Land Workshop in Rigolet, a workshop format which strayed away from reports and presentations, and instead tied research directly to the land.
Here, Nathan Jacque (Rigolet Inuit Research Coordinator) explains the method of magnitude coding used to determine whether the workshop was well received by the attendees. This methodology used data collected through focus groups and interviews.
Katrina Anthony (Postville Inuit Research Coordinator) stresses the importance of the setting and atmosphere of the event in bringing Inuit Knowledge and Western science knowledge together.
Caroline Nochasak (Nain Inuit Research Coordinator) concludes the session by stressing that "being on the land together, engaging in diverse and complex conversations, and building new and meaningful connections, helps ensure that Inuit and the land are respected when research is conducted and that Inuit are recognized as leaders."

The poster "Learning Together: Defining and applying values of a transdisciplinary early career research community" was about an exercise the student group, IlinniaKatigenniik ("Learning together") worked on to define shared values that guide the group's activities.
The IlinniaKatigenniik group identified and defined 6 values, and then collected data which included a budget allocation exercise and reflective writing to think about how they would spend the HQP budget for the project to uphold those values. The poster includes the research results and some reflections on the values and tensions of relationship-based research for early career researchers.
Dr. Eric Oliver from Dalhousie University at the OFI 2022 conference. We are synthesizing science and Inuit Knowledge around climate change effects on the whole coastal Nunatsiavut system, with the goal of informing the Nunatsiavut Government. We have developed a research paradigm with six guiding principles: (i) knowledge co-production, (ii) sustainability, (iii) relationships, (iv) data sharing, (v) iterative, flexible process, and (vi) community-level communications.
The goal is a self-sustaining, long-term research program with a focus on monitoring identified coastal ecosystem indicators while building research capacity in Nunatsiavut incorporating both Scientific and Inuit Knowledge.
Dalhousie University is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. We are all Treaty people.
We acknowledge that the lands on which Memorial University’s campuses are situated are in the traditional territories of diverse Indigenous groups, and we acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit of this province.
