Inuit and Scientific Descriptions of the Narwhal, Connecting Parallel Perceptions: Interdisciplinary Studies of the Narwhal with a Focus on Tusk Function

该项目支持在第15届国际因努伊特人研究会议上举办一次关于“因努伊特人独角鲸传统知识”的会议。 PI Martin Nweeia由他的两位因纽特同事陪同，他们将通过对独角鲸象牙结构和功能的合作研究来讨论传统知识和科学知识的整合。 参加这次会议加强了研究人员和北极社区之间的合作，这是联邦机构间“北极研究行为原则”以及因纽特人参与科学的支持。

This project supports a session on "Inuit Traditional Knowledge of the Narwhal" at the 15th International Inuit Studies Conference. The PI, Martin Nweeia is accompanied by two of his Inuit colleagues who will discuss the integration of traditional and scientific knowledge through their collaborative research on the structure and function of the Narwhal tusk. Participation in this conference increases the collaboration between researchers and Arctic communities, something supported by the federal interagency "Principles for the Conduct of Research in the Arctic," as well as the participation of the Inuit in science.
