A Mi’kmaw Perspective on Advancing Salmon Governancein Nova Scotia, Canada: Setting the Stage for Collaborative Co-Existence
The article presents a Mi'kmaw perspective on advancing salmon governance in Nova Scotia, focusing on collaborative approaches to address conservation and management.
It highlights tensions between the Mi'kmaq people and the Canadian government, particularly the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), over salmon conservation.
The authors propose a co-management framework that blends Mi'kmaq traditional knowledge (guided by the principle of Netukulimk) and Western scientific methods through the Two-Eyed Seeing approach.
This model aims to achieve sustainable salmon populations while respecting both Indigenous rights and conservation goals, setting the stage for collaborative coexistence.
