Documentary Film of Adaptation Planning, Shelter-Building, and Food Harvesting: A Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in, Gwitchin, and Nisga’a Collaboration

This project employed video production and on-the-land teaching as two ways to keep traditional knowledge alive so that people can survive if floods, freeze-thaws, or other unexpected climate change-related events sever communities from access to purchased foods and materials. Documentary films were produced by students and a documentary film “Shelter, Food, and Wisdom” was completed as part of this research. Finally, an article titled ‘Moss Houses in the Circumpolar North: Architectural Traditions and Innovations That Respond to Climate Change’ was published.
