IGLNi Annual Meeting 2025: Themes and Objectives
This year’s gathering focuses on identifying key structures, resources, and processes the network can create or help make more accessible—ensuring they are both needed and will be used by members. These priorities will shape the network’s workplan moving forward.
Additionally, the conference will continue to strengthen relationships between Indigenous communities, Nations, Tribes and organizations and facilitate collaboration with external organizations working in the Great Lakes region.
Through conversations, workshops, and shared experiences, we’re working to build a more connected, supportive, and action-oriented network to advance Indigenous environmental research and monitoring priorities within the Great Lakes Basin.
