Leading Reconciliation through Research by Braiding Indigenous and Western Ways of Knowing.
We have a broader focus which covers monitoring and understanding environmental changes to inform conservation, restoration, and adaptation strategies. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the well-being of All Our Relations, encompassing the land, humans, plants, animals, and all living and non-living forms.
This rebrand is a reflection of our expanded mission and evolution as an organization. We are building on the groundbreaking work of CMN, with a renewed commitment to leading Reconciliation through Research, elevating Indigenous and local knowledge in public policy, and enhancing holistic environmental, social and cultural understanding, by braiding Indigenous and Western knowledge systems. We are the same great team, continuing to provide support and working on the ground with Indigenous researchers, communities, government, as well as many diverse partners.
BKC is dedicated to Reconciliation through Research and focuses on understanding and monitoring environmental change to inform conservation, restoration, and adaptation strategies. This is all in pursuit of our shared goal: to enhance the well-being of our environment and its people.
Braiding Knowledges Canada advances Reconciliation through Research by enhancing the influence of self-determined, place-based, and co-produced knowledge within Canada’s science culture such that, over time and on a path towards reconciliation, Indigenous and local knowledge approaches equitably contribute to public policy, decision-making, and the advancement of federal science priorities.
To influence public policy and decision-making, advance Reconciliation through Research, and enhance the understanding of environmental, social and cultural change across Canada, through the braiding of Indigenous and Western knowledges.
