Panel discussion: Indigenous-led research and sovereignty in a changing Arctic

Arctic Indigenous organizations are increasingly leading their own research and environmental observing initiatives either independently or in collaboration with university or government researchers. This panel, featuring members of the Advisory Committee for the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA), will discuss the growth of community-led knowledge documentation projects across the Arctic in the context of broader environmental and social changes. Panelists will reflect on their own work as well as their experiences working with ELOKA, a program that has been based at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) and the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder since 2007.
