Protecting HEÉN/TŪ Together: Community based water monitoring in the Yukon River Head Waters.
Join the Carcross/Tagish First Nation (C/TFN) and partners for a presentation on collaborative water monitoring in the Yukon River headwaters.
Through the Indigenous Observation Network, carried out with the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council, C/TFN has been collecting multi-year water quality data across the Southern Lakes.
These community-based monitoring efforts provide baseline conditions, track long-term trends, and provide insight into watershed wellbeing.
In parallel, C/TFN is partnering with Yukon University on the Yukon River Headwaters Project, which expands this work by examining water quantity, chemistry, contaminants, and aquatic ecology in greater detail, from glacial melt and watershed processes to sediment cores and aquatic communities.
Together, these initiatives bring Indigenous knowledge, community-based monitoring, and scientific research into one conversation, helping us understand how changing landscapes and climate will affect the headwaters and guide decision-making for water protection across the Yukon River Basin.
Co-hosted by YukonU and Yukon Science Institute.
Presenters: Colleen James, Daisy Gatensby, James Kawchuck, Amaya Cherian-Hall, Tyler Obediah, Laurence Patterson-Smith, Edda Mutter and Ashley Dubnick
Partners: Carcross/Tagish First Nation, Yukon University, The Yukon River Intertribal Watershed Council and University of Manitoba
