Weaving Indigenous Science and federal research: “barriers” and “bright spots”
Pratiques judicieuses pour intégrer la science autochtone (SA) dans la recherche fédérale : les « obstacles » et les « points forts »

Panel Organized by: Health Canada in collaboration with Indigenous Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics Cluster (I-STEM)

The purpose of this panel is to highlight practices and innovative insights for the equitable and ethical treatment of Indigenous Science (IS) in federal research. With the help of a few case studies from diverse and intersecting contexts, this panel will discuss, dialogue, and identify fundamental elements to acknowledge the meaningful inclusion of IS in federal research. In the course of discussion and dialogue, this panel aims to underscore some key elements as bridging agents to enable a fuller understanding, and valuing of IS in federal science. Additionally, the panelists are uniquely positioned to reflect on how bridging knowledge systems can support and enhance the mutual interests of Indigenous communities and federal science.

Le groupe a pour objectif la mise en valeur des pratiques et des idées novatrices afin d’assurer l’intégration de la science autochtone (SA) dans la recherche à l’échelle fédérale. Grâce à quelques études de cas dans des contextes divergents et convergents, le groupe cernera les éléments fondamentaux et en discutera afin d’assurer l’inclusion de la SA dans la recherche à l’échelle fédérale. Au cours de la discussion, le groupe vise à mettre en évidence certains éléments clés, comme les agents d’intégration, qui permettront de mieux comprendre et évaluer la SA dans la recherche fédérale. De plus, les membres du groupe sont particulièrement bien placés qui concerne la façon dont l’intégration des systèmes de connaissances peut appuyer et améliorer les intérêts mutuels des collectivités autochtones et des activités scientifiques à l’échelle fédérale.
