THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKES AND ALL THEIR RELATIONS: PILOTING A PARTNERSHIP PROTOCOL FOR CO-GOVERNED FRESHWATER SCIENCE IN ANISHINAABE TERRITORIES

The link between healthy lands, waters, and people has been embodied in Indigenous societies since time immemorial, yet these knowledge systems are largely dismissed in western natural sciences. Despite western science’s best efforts, we face global environmental challenges of unprecedented magnitudes– and in Canada, we have been in a state of crisis with respect to anti-Indigenous racism for centuries; it is a watershed moment to work together toward healing and reconciling the damage we have done. Our research responds to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #65, which calls on scientists to advance their understandings of reconciliation. We – an ecotoxicology lab and a social-environmental justice lab – are collaborating with Grand Council Treaty #3 (GCT3) and the International Institute for Sustainable Development Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA), a whole-of-lake experimental research station established in Treaty #3 Anishinaabe territory without their free, prior, and informed consent. Our research has three objectives: 1) Develop a Terms of Reference to co-govern our research; 2) Develop policies and procedures for freshwater research that takes place in GCT3 territory; and 3) Pilot the policies and procedures on a collaborative freshwater research project at the IISD-ELA.
