These reports provide an introduction to the YRITWC, along with the results of focus groups and interviews conducted with Elders and citizens of each nation in an effort to share Traditional Knowledge and create a combination of Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science.

These reports detail the results of research conducted in these communities to assess and monitor climate change and contaminants within their traditional territories through integrating Indigenous Knowledge of the environment into a community contaminant-monitoring program.

These reports from 2001 to 2005 contain water quality and sediment quality data from samples collected in the Yukon River Basin. The work was made possible by the partnership with USGS and National Science Foundation.
