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, and the Inuit Circumpolar Council Protocol 2 calls for the recognition of Indigenous Knowledge in its own right.
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 landmark, as a figure, has itself lots to teach us about how to acknowledge and relate to such differences.
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.
As we acknowledge our differences, we move onto our own tracks- and continue our journeys side by side and laterally.
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.
As we pass particular points and places in the land, lets say for example a rock formation, our tracks may split. As we each pass the rock formation on each side, two different perspective emerge, as the face of the rock-formation will present itself as different to each of us.

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 our differences in positionality of the BearWatch scientists and the Gjoa Haven community members to be explicitly acknowledged in some of our co-creative output.
