Overview
Documenting community knowledge for long-term use in decision-making or other processes is essential to Indigenous governments. Each project of this nature is highly unique, so our process begins with determining the scope of your project. While projects of this nature are typically community-led, we can provide technical assistance throughout—including interview documentation, GIS, handheld (mobile) data logger troubleshooting, data-management services, and reporting. This will help your community achieve its project goals, and ensure the documented knowledge is safe and secure.
