You have found a "Wrecksite".
This one allows you to think with the im/possibilities of knowledge (co-)production, through the collection of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in polar bear monitoring and co-management.
In scientific wildlife co-management and research the properties of ‘science’ are mostly determined by the agential cuts of post-positivist western natural sciences and its understanding of the world through representative data [1][2]. Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) often finds itself represented in such science, through the form of TEK.
James Qitsualik, Gjoa Haven HTA vice-chair had the following to say about TEK-interviews conducted as part of polar bear monitoring surveys:
"A lot of the time they [scientist] already know what they want to know. A lot of the time they just need to know the locations. 'Can you tell me where the den-sites are?'(James Qitsualik, interview, 2022)"
TEK interviews, like "Wrecksites" emerged in our conversation as sites of multiplicity and opportunity, however. They are both sites of "becoming reef", as they are sites of "becoming heritage[3]".
"These interviews with the elders are very important, because now, some of them have passed. I have also learnt a lot through these [TEK] workshops. I have learnt that Inuit used to hunt polar bears from within their den. It's where they - inexperienced hunters - felt safer. Experienced hunters would hunt them anywhere. (James Qitsualik, interview, 2022)"
