Editing Workshop Coral Harbour (section)

=Day 2: “Living with Polar Bears” (Evening)=

The final activity of the gathering was a workshop-like activity seeking insights from local hunters and community members on how to ‘live with bears’ (versus the current management via quota system).

The gathering intent (and design) was to commence the bringing together of Inuit ways of being and knowing with Western science in the context of polar bear monitoring. Although some effort was expended on the selection of the venue for this gathering, outside of the governance institutional buildings- allowing for intimacy of a gathering, comfortable interaction of community members and the participation of Southern colleagues, a lack of community embeddedness made finding such a place difficult. In the end Coral Harbour Hamlet conference room was generously provided by the Hamlet of Coral Harbour.
