The goal of the proposed Discovery Horizons project is to explore how Aquatics knowledge heldby Indigenous people can benefit Aquatics Ecology in Lake Winnipeg by using Anishinaabe mowin for baseline monitoring using a 3-voices and 3-eyed seeing approach. The short term objectives of this proposal are: 1) Establish baselines for aquatic monitoring using knowledge embedded within language to identify the natural state of aquatic systems and changes that have occurred; 2) Compare the aquatic system in its natural and present state using Indigenous Science (IS) and Western Science (WS); and 3) Incorporate 3-eyed seeing and 3-voices to determine the best management method for Lake Winnipeg. This approach incorporates IS, WS and Our-Relations, which includes water, land, air and other entities considered living by Indigenous people.The proposed project will fill a major knowledge gap by providing a historical and holistic baseline for ecology by using this additional eye. The 2-eyed seeing approach keeps one eye focused on learning through IS and the other eye learns through the lens of WS. The critical addition of the third eye gives a lens and voice to Our-Relations or "those that cannot speak for themselves." First Nations' Elders have long stated that we have to listen to what the water tells us because water is alive. Anishinaabe mowin provide vital links to Indigenous knowledge and is descriptive of Indigenous Peoples' relationship with the ecosystem. They are consistent with natural law, reflecting how nature was designed to be perfect by Muntoo, where all nature and natural systems have a purpose and are in unison.First Nations' Elders know that there are problems and changes with the fish, water flows, andwater quality in Lake Winnipeg. The proposed research will use a land-based, truly interdisciplinary approach involving a team from IS, WS, and Our-Relations that are equally valued. Elders will identify water places and landmarks with Anishinaabe names such as "kis katch-iwun-ong" or "where the water empty out", and the words will be translated and analyzed to demonstrate how the natural law of the lake has changed over time. Indigenous and non-Indigenous HQP will document water features and landmarks via site visits, oral history, photographs, drone images, GIS, and satellite imagery while also learning the Anishinaabe mowin names to appreciate the natural law of the ecosystem in a way not possible when only viewed through the lens of WS.

拟议的发现地平线项目的目标是探索土著人民掌握的水产知识如何使温尼伯湖的水产生态学受益，方法是使用Anishinaabe mowin进行基线监测，使用3种声音和3种眼睛观察方法。该提案的短期目标是：1）利用语言中的知识建立水生监测基线，以确定水生系统的自然状态和已发生的变化; 2）利用土著科学（IS）和西方科学（WS）比较水生系统的自然和现状; 3）结合三眼视觉和三声来确定温尼伯湖的最佳管理方法。这一方法结合了IS、WS和Our-Relations，其中包括水、土地、空气和土著人民认为生活的其他实体。拟议的项目将填补一个主要的知识空白，通过使用这一额外的眼睛提供一个历史和整体的生态基线。两只眼睛的观察方法使一只眼睛专注于通过信息系统学习，另一只眼睛通过信息系统的透镜学习。第三只眼睛的重要补充为我们的关系或“那些不能为自己说话的人”提供了一个透镜和声音。“第一民族的长老们长期以来一直说，我们必须倾听水告诉我们的东西，因为水是有生命的。Anishinaabe mowin提供了与土著知识的重要联系，并描述了土著人民与生态系统的关系。它们与自然法则相一致，反映了自然是如何被Muntoo设计成完美的，在那里所有的自然和自然系统都有一个目的，并且是一致的。第一民族的长老们知道温尼伯湖的鱼、水流和水质存在问题和变化。拟议中的研究将使用一种基于陆地的，真正跨学科的方法，涉及来自IS，WS和Our-Relations的团队，这些团队同样受到重视。长老们将用Anishinaabe的名字来识别水域和地标，如“kis katch-iwun-ong”或“水空出来的地方”，这些词将被翻译和分析，以展示湖泊的自然规律如何随着时间的推移而变化。土著和非土著HQP将通过实地考察，口述历史，照片，无人机图像，地理信息系统和卫星图像记录水景和地标，同时还学习Anishinaabe mowin名称，以欣赏生态系统的自然规律，这在仅通过WS的透镜观看时是不可能的。
