““I hope more people will take the time to be involved in sharing their TEK in the future. It’s worth it to collect it.
It becomes the most valuable piece of information your community will have to fight with.”

Social Research
Channeling the Wisdom of Indigenous Knowledge
Each study we conduct is as unique as the Nations we serve. When we work with you to design your study, considering your end goals — the “so what” element of data gathering — is of primary importance.
We combine cutting-edge GIS mapping technology with tailored research approaches to produce powerful, legally defensible maps that show the historic and current connection Indigenous Nations have to their lands and waters. We understand the power of story, and how to use Oral History interviews to add colour and depth to your mapped data. Our professional videographers help gather and preserve knowledge for future generations. Community-driven capacity development and a deep commitment to data protection are key elements of each study. And what’s more — we make the research process fun and meaningful for everyone involved!
When it comes to Social Research, the possibilities, and the benefits, are endless.
