Trent University’s Indigenous Environmental Institute has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. Through this agreement, they will create a graduate and Indigenous learner scholarship program, identify key priorities for Indigenous-led research, and develop a new Community Partnership Funding Program to foster Indigenous and non-Indigenous research collaboration. “Through this collaboration, we will work to bring together Indigenous relationality and science with dominant science and create a deep and holistic understanding of Great Lakes ecosystems,” said Trent Indigenous Studies PhD Program Director Dr Barbara Moktthewenkwe Wall. “Our work will honor and bring to the forefront Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing.”
