Using Anishinaabe Mowin for Aquatics Management: 3-voices and 3-eyed seeing

拟议的“发现地平线”项目的目标是通过使用Anishinaabe mowin进行基线监测，使用三声三眼观察方法，探索土著居民掌握的水生知识如何使温尼伯湖的水生生态受益。该提案的短期目标是：1)利用语言中嵌入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)利用本土科学（IS）和西方科学（WS）对自然状态和现状的水生系统进行比较；3)结合三眼观三声，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。拟议的项目将通过使用这只额外的眼睛，为生态学提供一个历史和整体的基线，从而填补一个主要的知识空白。两只眼睛看的方法是一只眼睛专注于通过IS学习，另一只眼睛通过WS的镜头学习。“第三只眼”的加入为我们的关系或“那些不能为自己说话的人”提供了一个镜头和声音。原住民长老早就说过，我们必须听从水的声音，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。它们与自然法则是一致的，反映了蒙图是如何将自然设计成完美的，在这里，所有的自然和自然系统都有一个目的，并且是一致的。原住民长老知道温尼伯湖的鱼、水流和水质存在问题和变化。拟议的研究将采用陆基的、真正跨学科的方法，涉及来自IS、WS和Our-Relations的团队，他们的价值相同。长老们会用“kis katch-iwun-ong”或“水干涸的地方”等阿尼什纳语的名字来识别有水的地方和地标，这些词会被翻译和分析，以展示湖泊的自然规律是如何随着时间而变化的。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，同时还将学习Anishinaabe mowin的名字，以一种仅通过WS镜头观看无法实现的方式欣赏生态系统的自然规律。

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.
