Audrey worked with the West Moberly First Nations (WMFN) on Dancing with the Land (Nun ke’ Daahwéhsats), a project to advance understanding of how climate change impacts and policies will impact Indigenous self-determination as well as the cultural values/rights associated with terrestrial and aquatic environments. Their work researching climate-action plans and co-creating a research needs assessment for the WMFN will lead to a cooperative climate research agenda (CCRA) and a multi-year effort to collaboratively produce climate research and recommendations for WMFN’s environmental planning.
