compendium of research in the northwest territories This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Government of the Northwest Territories Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. [...] To ensure that the project is in the interest of the communities, the research team worked with the Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Committee (HTC), the Sachs Harbour HTC, and the Ulukhaktok HTC by telephone and email, and in person in July and September. [...] Both the Elder and coordinator spread the word about the project to the community, and ensured the safety of the field guardians. [...] The research team had to work very hard during the summer of 2019 to maintain the tower, because the summer heat softened the ground at the site and caused the tower to shift. [...] The research team collected samples from 2037 individuals (506 children and 1531 adults) between the ages of three and 79 during two sampling waves: the first wave was in the fall of 2017, and the second was in the spring of 2018.
