Kawerak Knowledge and Research Sovereignty Workshop Report

For the May 2021 workshop, we wanted to hear from all of the Tribal participants about things they think are working and things that are not working with regard to how research is carried out in the Bering Strait region. This includes all types of research - for example, vessel-based research like marine mammal studies or trawl research; tagging of animals; research that involves deploying instruments in the water or air; research that involves interviewing community members or documenting Traditional Knowledge and other community information; and so on.
