Indigenous Knowledge and Social Science Research

Studying the cumulative effects of development to Indigenous land-use practices in Saskatchewan.
This study was undertaken to gain a better understanding of the cumulative implications of resource development on the opportunities of Aboriginal people to sustain and express cultural values.
In collaboration with HVC staff and Nlaka’pamux communities, IEG completed an End Land Use Plan (ELUP) for the Teck Highland Valley Copper (HVC) Mine in British Columbia.
In partnership with Associated Environmental, IEG conducted an aquatic health assessment (State of the Aquatic Ecosystem Report) of the Mackenzie River Basin for Environment and Climate Change Canada.
IEG is a partner on the Kitatipithitamak Mithwayawin project. The team is being led by Stephane McLachlan at the University of Manitoba and an Advisory Council made up of Health Directors, Tribal Councils, and Health authorities from Manitoba and Ontario.
For the Suncor Base Mine Extension (BMX) Project (2018-2020)
IEG worked with Fort McKay community members to develop and verify a comprehensive list of important culturally used plants.
