“…The finding that Cree and Inuit observations of climate are consistent with long-term meteorological monitoring has also been demonstrated in the more southern communities of the Eeyou Istchee region. TEK was found to be both in agreement and complementary to scientific meteorological data from the area (Royer et al, 2013). In addition to describing the physical effects of a changing climate, TEK is able to document the effects of climate change on people living in the region.…”

“…We conducted semi-structured interviews with participants to document polar bear knowledge in the EMR. This interview method has proven appropriate in North American Arctic Indigenous groups (Ferguson and Messier, 1997;Huntington, 1998;Dowsley, 2007;Ferguson et al, 2012), as well as Cree communities in Ontario and Québec (Lemelin et al, 2010;Herrmann et al, 2012;Royer et al, 2013). The interview strategy is flexible and openended, and it allows for the expression of personal positions and beliefs.…”

“…Human lives could be saved if considerations of air temperatures integrated throughout the winter were included in individual decision-making and risk calculations on the ice. For example, Cree hunters use observations of air temperatures and precipitation to continually evaluate inland ice conditions throughout the winter when implementing ice safety and security programs [41]. To empower individuals to take adaptive actions, stakeholder organizations such as life-saving societies, government agencies, Indigenous, and other local communities are vital for increasing awareness of the impacts of climate change on ice safety.…”

“…As previously mentioned, the limited number of meteorological stations, available to identify long term trends in temperature, might play an additional role in the lack of differences between the interior and costal trends (Meunier 2007;Royer et al 2013). However answers for summer temperature showed less cohesion.…”
