This systematic map examines the extent, range, and nature of published case studies (i.e., peer-reviewed academic literature, grey literature, and thesis/dissertationscommercially published and grey) that seek to bridge Indigenous science and Western science in ecological research, monitoring, or natural resource management across Canada’s freshwater aquatic ecosystems.
Specifically, it asked: What methods, models, and approaches have been used in studies that seek to bridge Indigenous and science-based knowledge in freshwater research, monitoring, or management in Canada?
