Grant Overview

The Northwest Territories faces unique challenges in balancing modern ecological research with Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). With 58% of the population identifying as Indigenous, the region's ecological landscape is deeply intertwined with the cultural heritage of its communities. However, the vast geography and limited infrastructure hinder the effective integration of TEK into conservation strategies. This grant program addresses this gap by supporting projects that harness TEK to inform local conservation strategies. In the Northwest Territories, where the boreal forest meets the tundra, understanding the nuances of local ecosystems is crucial. The region's diverse geography, from the Mackenzie River delta to the rugged mountains, demands context-specific conservation approaches. Eligible organizations, including Indigenous groups and community organizations, can apply for funding ranging from $2,000 to $8,000 to organize TEK workshops led by Indigenous elders. These workshops will not only promote sustainable land management practices but also strengthen community ties. Unlike neighboring Nunavut, the Northwest Territories' grant program places a special emphasis on integrating TEK with modern ecological research due to its unique cultural and geographical landscape. The target outcomes of this initiative include enhancing environmental awareness and promoting the preservation of both heritage and environment. By supporting community-driven projects, this grant program aims to foster a proactive approach to environmental conservation in the Northwest Territories. Key outcomes will be measured through the successful integration of TEK into local conservation plans and the development of community-led environmental initiatives.
