Abstract:
“Signal Fire” Rethinking natural science research with respect, recognition, understanding and collaboration.

In 2020, scientists and Kluane First Nation members published Towards Reconciliation: 10 Calls to Action, highlighting the need for natural science that respects and includes Indigenous communities, knowledge, and rights. Supported by NRCan, the paper inspired Signal Fire, an award-winning 30-minute film showcasing the potential of research as a tool for reconciliation. The film will be screened on Thursday, Nov 21 at 6:30 pm, followed by a panel discussion.
