This session presents the MIMIW SAKAHIKAN KAKIYAW MAMAWOKAMATOWIN KANANWEYTAMOWIN NIPIY ekwa KINOSAWAK project, a collaborative initiative by the Samson Cree Nation focused on the restoration and protection of Pigeon Lake’s aquatic habitat. The project, whose name translates to "Pigeon Lake working together in collaboration for fish and water," highlights the merging of traditional Nehiyaw knowledge with Western science to address environmental challenges. Funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, it brings the community together through land camps, elder-led guidance, and training programs that foster skills in water sampling, fish monitoring, and shoreline restoration.
