In many Indigenous cultures, mountains are understood as our grandfathers and grandmothers. These important landscapes are essential to the environmental, economic, social, spiritual, and cultural well-being of many of the North’s Indigenous People. The MGRT project proposes to train youth (18-30 years old) to design and deliver community-based, Indigenous-led research projects, and engage in partnerships using Western knowledge. As Guardians and as researchers, they will develop stewardship skills to understand and care for the lands and waters within their traditional territories.
