UFV welcomes guest presenters from Snowchange Cooperative, Finland: Tero Mustonen and Kaisu Mustonen.
Learn about the intersection of Indigenous knowledge and climate change through research.
Snowchange has participated in global discussions of climate change, biodiversity, and Indigenous and traditional knowledge issues for almost 20 years.
Based in the village of Selkie, North Karelia, Finland, Snowchange is a network of Indigenous and local traditional communities, including the Saami, Chukchi, Yukaghir, Inuit, Inuvialuit, Inupiaq, Gwitchin, Icelandic, Tahltan, Maori, and Indigenous Australian peoples and communities.
This includes connections with the StÓ:lō Nation, through a wideranging dialogue on co-management, documentation of traditional land use and occupancy, climate change issues, and restoration of traditional knowledge.
