| Summary: | Indigenous peoples of the circumpolar north have been caretakers of the land for millennia. They have acquired extensive deep knowledge regarding the environment in which they live, and they have been at the forefront of debates about the impacts of and responses to accelerating ecological changes. The Fourth International Polar Year provided an opportunity to forge more meaningful institutional and collaborative research links with indigenous communities and to entrain and support emerging indigenous scholars.
