Ce que la terre sait déjà : récits de récolte des Métis comme connaissance climatique

The document posits that the lived experience and intergenerational knowledge of Métis harvesters provide more granular and longitudinal climate data than official monitoring systems. It highlights how environmental changes—such as unpredictable berry ripening and shifting animal populations—are detected by harvesters long before they appear in scientific datasets. The author argues that colonial frameworks have marginalized this knowledge, and that true climate resilience requires integrating Métis observation as primary data, protecting harvesting rights, and supporting the intergenerational transmission of land-based knowledge.

• Métis harvesting narratives constitute primary data that is often more detailed and longitudinal than official government monitoring systems for specific territories.
• Community members often identify ecological shifts, such as changes in species populations, berry yields, and freeze-thaw cycles, well before these changes are recorded by official monitoring systems.
