Ep 28 - Beluga Fieldwork in Remote Indigenous Communities with Alexandra Mayette

Episode 28 is all about Alexandra's fieldwork in remote communities. Beluga fieldwork brought Alexandra to Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. The community and surrounding communities are important in this work, sharing their own knowledge of the population and their observations. Alexandra sheds light on an important area of science: collaboration with Indigenous communities who live in the areas all year round. They hold immense amount of knowledge and passion for common topics. The truth is that scientists can learn a lot from Indigenous peoples on the land that they study.
