Exciting Article Feature! Kacey Currie-Yellowbird

Exciting Article Feature! Kacey Currie-Yellowbird discusses Samson Cree Nation's Community Freezer Program, an initiative supported by the Ărramăt Project. This program empowers Youth with Traditional hunting skills, supports community health, and contributes to sustainable practices.

Kacey leads young hunters in sustainable hunts for elk, moose, and deer, providing meat for both community sustenance and ceremonial use. The program also involves crucial research into chronic wasting disease, promoting a better understanding of this condition among wildlife.

Learn more about how this program blends Indigenous knowledge with modern science for a healthier, more sustainable community!

The Ărramăt Project, along with global Indigenous organizations, presented their insights at a Vatican symposium, highlighting the critical role of Indigenous Knowledge in tackling climate change and safeguarding biodiversity. Pope Francis is challenging governments to "recognize the Indigenous Peoples of the whole world, with their cultures, languages, traditions and spirituality, and to respect their dignity and their rights, in the knowledge that the richness of our great human family consists precisely in its diversity."

This week, we hosted a 2-day mapping workshop in E

This week, we hosted a 2-day mapping workshop in Edmonton, focusing on how to handle the challenges posed by increased shipping in the Arctic. Led by Herb Nakimayak, Inuvialuit leaders, Elders, and Youth, we explored solutions to protect our Arctic ecosystem and the wellbeing of Inuvialuit and Inuit communities.

A big thank you to the Fisheries Joint Management Committee and UAlberta's Hannah Atkinson (MSc Student) for their hard work in organizing this event. We discussed everything from data analysis to governance gaps, making new connections and setting the stage for future action.

This effort was a team achievement, with partners including the Inuvialuit Game Council, the Joint Secretariat, Cambridge Bay HTO, CADEM Lab at NAIT (Dave Blaine), Carleton University (Peter Pulsifer), and UAlberta students. It was supported by the Ărramăt Project and funding from ECCC, Transport Canada, and the governments of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Thanks to everyone involved for their dedication and insight. Together, we're making strides towards a sustainable Arctic future.
