What about the land and the water? is a project aimed at re-thinking the way research ethics are approached at Yukon University and in the Canadian post-secondary context to be more inclusive of Indigenous worldviews. Thus far, humans and animals have been the focus of research ethics boards, where research projects are examined for their ethical considerations before the research starts. Through a collaboration between the VP Indigenous Engagement and Reconciliation and the VP Research Development, this project explores how Yukon First Nations worldviews could be uplifted and celebrated through a research ethics process that considers all aspects of the environment, including the land and the water. YukonU is committed to leading by example through our partnerships with Yukon First Nations, including the indigenization of research and the exploration of reconciliation through research.
