LESSONS FOR COLLABORATION INVOLVING TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN WATER GOVERNANCE e

Efforts to incorporate Traditional knowledge (TK) into water governance regimes in Ontario continue to evolve in urgency, scope and complexity. Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous parties have an interest in seeing such undertakings succeed, and yet errors in implementation continue to derail initiatives on a far too frequent basis. A brief look at the impetus behind current initiatives is provided, followed by highlights of some of the reasons why Indigenous peoples remain cautious in their interactions with outside agencies wishing to utilize their knowledge. As well, reasons are offered as to why Indigenous peoples continue to see the sharing of TK as necessary in the move towards achieving global sustainability. Finally, lessons from two Ontario examples of government–First Nation collaboration in the Great Lakes Ecosystem are presented. Key among these is the finding that early, ongoing and mutually beneficial relationship-building between involved parties is essential to project success
