31 Jan Nuu-chah-nulth Stewardship Photovoice Project
Photovoice Poster PDF
What does Uu-a-thluk or “taking care of” the environment, mean to you?
In partnership with the Community Conservation Research Network and the University of Victoria’s Science Venture program, Uu-a-thluk hosted six science camps in Nuu-chah-nulth communities reaching 131 youth. Equipped with cameras, the children and youth went into their territories with the teachings of Nuu-chah-nulth stewardship principles and practices in mind. Images and statements they created show thought-provoking insights and ideas from this generation about taking care of our precious environment.
From this project resources were produced including small posters for each Nuu-chah-nulth community that had participants in the camp, a large poster that represented all the communities, and a digital story with all of the images and insights.
Uu-a-thluk (Taking Care Of) is an aquatic resource management organization administered through the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council (NTC).
