\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe seasonal round is an annual harvesting method practiced by West Moberly First Nation and Saulteau First Nations, in what is now called the Peace Region of northeast British Columbia, that provides access to resources at optimal times of the year. Given the wide variety of plants and animals utilized by the Nations, these activities occur throughout the year across the entire territory. The variety, distribution, and abundance of large mammals such as moose and caribou play a critical role in the past and present practice of the seasonal round and will continue to in the future.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Porcupine Caribou Knowledge Hub is a collaboration among regional co-management organizations, Indigenous organizations, and university and government researchers. Together, they have been working for decades to bring Indigenous and scientific knowledge systems together to understand ecological change in the summer range of the Porcupine Caribou Herd and assess the current and future impact of these changes on local livelihoods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What is Braiding Knowledges?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBraiding knowledge is the coming together of knowledges. Each knowledge system is a strand of the braid. The first strand is Western knowledge, the second strand comprises Indigenous knowledges, and the third strand is federal science priorities, uniting the first two and making the braid stronger for greater impact. The braiding of knowledges offers a basket of outcomes that advance conservation, restoration, adaptation, and well-being.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why Braid Knowledges?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCanada\u2019s landscapes are undergoing rapid and uncertain change, necessitating renewed relationships among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples across Canada to guide conservation, restoration, adaptation, and\nsupport overall well-being.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe essence of knowledge braiding is a recognition of and respect for the inherent validity of different ways of knowing and the understanding that strength can be achieved not by trying to turn one way of knowing into another or assessing which is right and which is wrong, but by bringing them together in a space of equality where they can work together towards something more and better.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBKC provides a safe space for researchers to collaborate and ethically \u201cbraid\u201d Western and Indigenous knowledge systems aligned with BKC\u2019s core value, All Our Relations<\/em><\/strong>, which recognizes that we are connected to, dependent on, and responsible for each other and for the land, water, plants, and animals that sustain us.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis inclusive and equitable approach fosters better evidence and policy development. Through research, training, and community engagement, BKC promotes a model of decolonized research in Canada.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
