Sharing and preserving knowledge through story

This project will result in a high quality, documentary style production that can be used to protect, share and promote Indigenous peoples' own narratives about their fishing practices, rights, customs and knowledge. Through background research and structured interview processes, the production will draw attention to customary knowledge, cultural rights and responsibilities Indigenous people have over their marine and coastal resources, their contemporary fisheries management and economic development aspirations through the fisheries and seafood sectors, as well as the current impacts on Indigenous fishing practices. The production team will develop ten, 5-minute long compelling stories that together make an informative and educative contribution to Indigenous fishing knowledge systems. These stories will be tied together into a strong 50-minute documentary. The project methodology will be documented to provide a framework for future outputs to ensure consistency of approach and promote continual improvement.
