Indigenous Traditional Knowledge Studies

NEXUS has worked with First Nation, Inuit, and Métis organizations across Canada. We have documented Indigenous Traditional Knowledge rooted in the accumulated knowledge of natural ecosystems based on spiritual health, culture, and language that is passed between successive generations through stories, song, dance, and mythologies.

Our team understands that Indigenous Traditional Knowledge enhances insight into effective resource management and promotes a greater understanding of the opportunities for new resource development activities that empowers Indigenous communities. NEXUS has experience with multiple tools for data and information gathering and analysis to document Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, including:

    • Conduct rigorous research and analysis;
    • Work closely with communities;
    • Facilitate relationship building for knowledge sharing;
    • Design and develop web-atlases for knowledge sharing;
    • Conduct Indigenous Traditional Knowledge studies for regulatory permitting;
    • Work under the framework defined by the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; and,
    • Prepare comprehensive reports and research documents.
