ELOKA works at the intersection between Indigenous Knowledge and scientific expertise as complementary and reinforcing ways of understanding the Arctic system and how it is changing over time. By working together, Arctic residents and researchers can make significant contributions to a deeper understanding of the Arctic and the social and environmental changes ongoing in the region.
