Tundra Science and Culture Camp
Tundra Science and Culture Camp (TSCC) is an immersive, 10-day educational program for high-school-aged students, and educators, from the NWT. The program is delivered by leaders in Indigenous culture and environmental science who collaborate to provide a unique, on-the-tundra cultural and multidisciplinary learning experience. These leaders include Tłı̨chǫ elders, GNWT experts and educators in their fields, environmental stewards, and on-site graduate student researchers. Participants learn about Indigenous knowledge, the Tłı̨chǫ language, human history, along with other science-based disciplines such as archaeology, geology, wildlife biology, and aquatic ecology through engaging land-based sessions. Participants also learn about decision-making, resource management, and environmental impact using real-life examples in this diamond mining region.
