Connecting Arctic Priorities (CAP) Portal

CAP themesThe CAP Portal is a searchable collection of reports and documents written by Tribes, Arctic communities, and Indigenous organizations. The NNA-CO is providing this collection to facilitate awareness of Arctic Peoples’ priorities and values, which may serve to inform Arctic research planning and meaningful engagement.

The ownership of the documents in this collection remains with the Tribes, Arctic communities, and Indigenous organizations who created and authored them. Use of these resources should not replace community engagement but rather supplement existing strategies for engagement.

Inuit Circumpolar Council

By classifying and categorizing Arctic observations in accordance with knowledge systems of the people whose land the observation was taken on, Indigenous-led theories will be given their proper place in the role of Arctic observation.
