For millennia, Indigenous nations have governed and cared for their territories according to their own laws - actively stewarding the land and water to sustain their communities and all beings. This is Indigenous law.
This episode features discussion with Rayanna Seymour-Hourie and Summer Tyance, both Anishinaabekwe, who are transforming environmental decision-making and strengthening legal protection for the environment through collaborative legal strategies that bridge Indigenous and Canadian law. They are also a part of the Moonstone Drum Group; a group of 8 singers and hand drummers. Be sure to check out the episode show notes for more resources, videos and links to further reading.

About
The goal of the Arctic Together podcast is to create a series that centers Indigenous community voices, shares Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) community stories, and highlights different approaches to issues and solutions in Arctic-based research. The NNA Community Extension Office, content developers and host of the Arctic Together podcast, aims to build awareness, partnerships, opportunities, and resources for collaboration and equitable knowledge. From local to international scales, to supporting the next generation of Arctic researchers, Arctic Together offers stories and wisdom towards a more holistic understanding of Arctic natural environments, built environment, and diverse cultures and communities.
Arctic Together is a quarterly series with special guests - including intersections of visual art and musicians, or research and science communication perspectives - who will share gifts of wisdom, knowledge and lessons learned within their respective journeys through storytelling. Each episode in the series will focus on topics such as co-production of knowledge, equity, policy or data sovereignty, and will focus on rotating geographic regions, countries, people, and spaces within the Arctic.

The NNA-CO is supported through a cooperative agreement (Award # 2040729) with the U.S. National Science Foundation.
