Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NWT) – The Government recognizes that Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge is a valid and essential source of information about the natural environment and its resources, the use of natural resources, and the relationship of people to the land and to each other, and incorporates traditional knowledge into government decisions and actions where appropriate. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) was given responsibility for coordinating government-wide Traditional Knowledge initiatives. The Interdepartmental Traditional Knowledge Working Group, led by ENR, has compiled Traditional Knowledge initiatives each department has undertaken during the 2009-2010 fiscal year and compiled them in a report, GNWT Traditional Knowledge Annual report 2009/10. For more information, visit ENR website on traditional knowledge.
