When it comes to the topic under address in the "Voices of Thunder" testimonies: the phenomena of polar bear harvesting quota- we agreed that it would be important for the differences in positionality of the BearWatch scientists and the Gjoa Haven community members to be explicitly acknowledged in some of our co-creative output. 
The landmark, as a figure, has itself lots to teach us about how to acknowledge and relate to the tension of our differences, when it comes to our entanglements within the overarching polar bear management and monitoring apparatuses


Acknowledging the tension of our differences, when it comes to our entanglements within the overarching polar bear management and monitoring apparatuses, rather than attempting to erase them, aligns with the principles of ethical engagement. Willing partners are to ‘appropriately, correctly, and respectfully acknowledge the "that's me" and the "that's you" of their differentiated worldviews' if they are to enter into ethical relationships with each other (Institute for Integrative Science & Health, 2013b). Such acknowledgement of differences enables parties to respects the integrity of each voice and avoid 'cultural confusion'. Cultural confusion is a state in which ‘we no longer know what informs each of our identities and what should guide the association with each other’ (Ermine, 2007 p. 197 ; see also Blackfoot elder Reg Crowshoe in AER, 2014).  
The point here is not to argue whether or not we are looking at the same rock formation, and to agree on how it has changed over time. Neither is it the point that our subjective views change the way that the rocks present themselves to us.

The landmark, as a figure, has itself lots to teach us about how to acknowledge and relate to the tension of our differences, when it comes to our entanglements within the overarching polar bear management and monitoring apparatuses

The point here is not to argue whether or not we are looking at the same rock formation, and to agree on how it has changed over time. Neither is it the point that our subjective views change the way that the rocks present themselves to us.

The point here is that the rocks can are not determinable as separate from ourselves, our position in the landscape, where we have been and where we are going, when we consider ourselves part of the everchanging landscape. A practice of lateral movement unfixes the rocks as not just something than can be located out there, but rather as something that can also locate us, and the many other other material agencies that make it possible for us to encounter the rock formation.

"Return" to Cut 1 to learn more about how our co-creative practices around the "Voices of Thunder" testimonies, helped us (re-)locate our bodies on such lateral tracks.
