Cumulative Effects Assessment in the perspective of the Kluane First Nation (2023)
These illustrations were designed to support a research project by PhD candidate Lawrence Ignace (University of Victoria): "Reconceptualizing Cumulative Effects Assessment and Management Through Indigenous Knowledge Systems in the perspective of KFN's world view".
The series of 5 illustrations were developed to match various sections of a workbook destined to KFN citizens who contributed to a series of interviews as part of the project.
The timelines, events and people depicted are designed based on informed research and with consent from the various parties. Some elements are freely inspired from traditional Southern Tutchone stories compiled from various sources.
