The project aims to contribute to increased circumpolar and Indigenous knowledge sharing in the North, by Northern Canadians by increasing opportunities for Northern Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, to participate in UArctic north2north Mobility Program; strengthening relationships between UArctic member institutions and Canadian territorial post-secondary institutions; increasing opportunities for a Northern Canadian post-secondary Indigenous leader to contribute to UArctic initiatives; and strengthening capacity to align Indigenous Knowledge across the circumpolar north. To do so, the project implements the north2north Mobility Program, hosts a Vice President Indigenous position held by a senior Indigenous leader from Northern Canada, and creates tools to increase the visibility and accessibility of Indigenous content and knowledge within the UArctic network.
