Mountains of Knowledge offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from Graham\, and other co-creators of the CMA about ways lessons learned can be applied to Y2Y’s work.  \nThe event will create a platform for Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals who have been involved in the recent Canadian Mountain Assessment – a first-of-its-kind look at what we know\, do not know\, and need to know about mountain systems in Canada. The multi-chapter assessment is based extensive knowledge sharing from First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuit knowledges of mountains\, as well as findings from an extensive review of academic literature. The CMA’s inclusive knowledge co-creation approach brings multiple ways of knowing together to enhance our collective understanding of mountains\, while respecting and maintaining the integrity of different knowledge systems. \nThis online event is FREE with registration.
