	~~[[File:Beyond~~ the ~~cut~~.~~png\|thumb]]~~		The “Voices of Thunder” Animated Graphic Documentary has been screened in Gjoa Haven, at multiple filmfestivals, and at a regional meeting during which the HTA’s of Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Cambridge Bay met with the Kitikmeot Regional Wildlife Board.

	~~The “Voices~~ of ~~Thunder” Animated Graphic Documentary has been screened multiple times~~ in Gjoa Haven, ~~and shared on~~ the ~~Gjoa Haven community Facebook page~~, with the ~~explicit call~~ to ~~share~~ the ~~movie and show it~~ to ~~friends and family within and outside of~~ Gjoa Haven~~. It was also screened at several academic conferences related to the (Canadian) Arctic~~ and ~~wildlife management. Among them was a plenary screening at~~ the ~~Annual Science Meeting of ArcticNet in Toronto, 2022, and it was screened as an opening movie during Critical Arctic Studies conference in Rovaniemi, 2023. We furthermore circulated~~ the ~~movie in the film festival circuit, where it got accepted~~ and screened at several relevant festivals like; Society for Visual Anthropology Film and Media Festival (SVAFMF) in Toronto, 2023, Aulajut: Nunavut International Film Festival in Iqaluit, 2023, Dawson City International Short Film Festival in Dawson, 2024 and the Available Light Film Festival in Yukon, 2024. Finally, it was taken up in the online collection of imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in 2023.		A Member of the Legislative Assembly, who resides in Gjoa Haven, leveraged the film, together with the “Winds of Change” website in a letter to the Minister of Environment to call attention to Gjoa Haven testimonies and request ‘a detailed update’ on the ‘department’s work with the Gjoa Haven Hunters and Trappers Association to manage this subpopulation’.

	~~The film was not only disseminated by BearWatch researchers. The HTA screened the movie at a regional meeting during which the HTA’s of Gjoa Haven~~, ~~Taloyoak and Cambridge Bay met with the Kitikmeot Regional Wildlife Board. The film was received with praise from the regional board and the other two communities. A Member~~ of ~~the Legislative Assembly, who resides~~ in Gjoa Haven, ~~leveraged the film~~, ~~together with~~ the ~~“Winds of Change” website~~ in a letter to the Minister of Environment to call attention to Gjoa Haven testimonies and request ‘a detailed update’ on the ‘department’s work with the Gjoa Haven Hunters and Trappers Association to manage this subpopulation’.		Our article, Voices of Thunder: Polar Bear Quota Reduction Impacts in Gjoa Haven, Nunavut - From Purveying Voices to Accepting Testimony, was submitted for peer review at the Arctic Science Journal in January 2025.

	~~As for this~~ cut and its testimonial reading, we invite audience members to engage with Gjoa Haven appeals in ways that feel appropriate to ones reconciliatory responsibilities. We nevertheless hope to inspire our academic audience(s), especially those researching wildlife in Nunavut (and beyond), to recognize themselves as structurally implicated in the structures that have contributed to the experiences to which the testimonies in this manuscript speak, and explore how such structures manifest in their own research context.

Some of these points mark the end of funding cycles or project activities. Or they mark the limitations and scope of this particular PhD dissertation. Others are trails, and tracks that have faded out, as they remained un-revisited.

	~~To be responsible~~, ~~is to enact your ability to respond. Rothberg invokes an implicated subject that assumes responsibility~~ based ~~on collective legacy, but that also has individual agency in terms~~ of ~~resisting or contributing to contemporary structures of injustice~~. ~~‘One has responsibility always now’ (Young, 2010)~~.		Co-creating the Voices of Thunder output, with the community as well as conducting this testimonial reading among the non-Indigenous research team has put put our bodies back into the world, and "recognition" into motion as a verb-based practice of "recognizing". It can no longer be displaced elsewhere.

	~~As academic~~, ~~non~~-~~government researchers collaborating with the community of Gjoa Haven,~~ we ~~also engaged~~ with ~~the need for broader recognition of Inuit knowledge in the form of better integration of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit in polar bear~~ research ~~and management by critically exploring our own practices when it comes~~ to ~~knowledge conciliation~~.		Recognition for Gjoa Gaven’s Voices of Thunder became no longer a discretely determinable goal that could be displaced across people and between spaces, but rather a practice of responding to an-other that we are inseparably entangled with.

			To be a response-able research partner is, thus, to enact your ability to respond.
