Towards Arctic Research Upholding Indigenous Peoples’ Rights: Recommendations for ICARP IV, the International Conference on Arctic Research Planning
Key message: A decolonial approach is needed to fulfil IASC’s commitment to recognizing that Traditional Knowledge, Indigenous Knowledge and academic scientific knowledge are co-equal and complementary knowledge systems that all can and should inform its work (website ICARP IV, retrieved October 2023). This document summarizes key recommendations for actions regarding five themes:
- Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination as a prerequisite for high-quality Arctic research
- Ethics, methods and methodology as key for decolonial research
- Indigenous-led research in design and practice
- Indigenous Peoples’ co-equal participation in Arctic research funding structures and decision-making for securing decolonial Arctic research in practice
- Funding for Co-Creative and Indigenous-Led Arctic Research
