Passing this along from our fellow ʔakisq̓nuk nation member:
My name is Lorretta Wingo my relatives are Teresa Caius/Cains/Kains and Baptiste Morigeau. I'm completing my Master's in Environmental Management at Royal Roads University. I am conducting a survey on Ktunaxa stewardship and restoration across ʔamak̓is Ktunaxa. I'm inviting Ktunaxanin̓tik and others with knowledge of stewardship and restoration to complete a 20-minute survey. Participation is completely voluntary, and you may stop the survey at any time. I'd be grateful for your participation and help sharing it with others. I would really appreciate if you share it with Knowledge Holders, Elders, Aknusti - anyone who spends time on the land and anyone who as worked in Lands past and present. Participants may enter a draw for one of two $500 gift cards. The survey and consent information can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/PXXVWGD and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n1nqkMvcaBCBebaSFdDuQl107VAkhgC3/view?usp=sharing
