Two-eyed seeing: Bridging indigenous and scientific knowledge improves wildlife surveillance and fosters reconciliation
Experiential-based knowledge such as that of the northern Indigenous peoples, acquired through practice and over generations, has been central to human adaptation and survival for millennia. Combining this knowledge with scientific knowledge can lead to better-informed and more timely and effective decision-making for wildlife management. This presentation will discuss how community-based wildlife health surveillance in the Canadian Arctic has brought Indigenous and scientific knowledge together for a more holistic understanding of muskox and caribou health and guided policy and management decisions.

The Arctic Council and One Health: Advancing scientific cooperation via a diplomatic
platform
The United States has co-led (with Canada and Finland) an Arctic Council project called
One Arctic, One Health since 2015. The project aims to develop a circumpolar network
to share information, conduct exercises and collaborate on investigations of One Health
phenomena. The Arctic Council is a diplomatic body but has spurred One Health scientific
cooperation.
Key Arctic Council representatives on the panel will discuss how the council works,
how it can advance Arctic One Health and how to continue collaborations after the
council's project ends. Panelists represent a variety of countries and disciplines
keys.
