چکیده انگلیسی
Efforts at combining or bridging Traditional and Scientific knowledges within Canadian resource management institutions have been well researched. But there has been less research which examines this process in the context of large-scale resource extraction activities. This study explores the views and responses of Aboriginal participants to knowledge bridging in an environmental governance institution overseeing uraniummining in Saskatchewan, Canada. Consistent with other Canadian studies in the resource management and environmental assessment context, many knowledge bridging problems were evident. These included the empirical observations of animal behaviours that were not meaningfully engaged with by non-Aboriginal participants. In addition, the ethical dimensions of Traditional Knowledge (TK) were ignored. However, Aboriginal participants also strategically navigated the governance space by uncovering 'openings' to challenge scientific knowledge claims through TK, as well as assert, confront, and educate industry and government representatives with their own technical and local knowledges. Some participants also recognized 'closures', and chose to withhold TK based on their distrustof how it could be (mis)used. Given the diversity of views about knowledge bridging in this context, and the many problems identified, any top-down efforts to promote TK in certain governance spaces should be carefully reconsidered.
