Sacred Science Video Series
Bringing together Indigenous knowledge and western science creates opportunities for new solutions to environmental challenges, including issues that are important to Indigenous People.
The Sacred Science video series, developed in collaboration with Indigenous communities in Alberta, Alberta Innovates and InnoTech Alberta, tells the stories of how these communities are leveraging these two knowledge systems to tackle complex conservation and land management challenges and to preserve their cultures.
These videos demonstrate successful collaboration between Indigenous communities and natural scientists that create meaningful impact and demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation, particularly in the natural sciences.
