“…In all relationships it is essential that the context from which the relationship evolved is understood (Gray, 1985). Goetze (2005) and Stirling et al (2023) suggest that when "negotiating new relationships" (Goetze, 2005, p. 256) in work centered around collaborative decision-making and knowledge sharing with Indigenous partners, colonial histories must be realized.…”

The health of fish and water is of utmost importance for Indigenous Peoples yet Indigenous voice and wisdom continue to be marginalized in decision-making about water resources. This is problematic given that interconnected aquatic ecosystems require collaboration, alongside legal and ethical imperatives to involve Indigenous Peoples in decisions that uphold their rights. This thesis employs a case study of fisheries decision-making on the Laurentian Great Lakes where multijurisdictional collaboration emerged in response to widespread damages caused by the invasive sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus. Drawing on interviews with fisheries professionals working for Indigenous fishery agencies we provide insight into the challenges and opportunities of fisheries co-management.We find that collaboration can be impacted by individual to institutional to system levels. Overall, the equitable involvement of Indigenous voice and wisdom in decision-making can move us together and further along a pathway of reconciliation and commitment to healthy water resources.iii Dedication and AcknowledgementsFor my dad, from whom I have learned so much This work would not have been possible without the incredible support of many people. First, to the participants in this research: I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from your insights.

Discourse used in the field of invasion ecology has significant impacts on society's perception, yet communication related to “invasives” is rife with problematic, exclusionary language. We provide potential solutions, including a repositioned perspective that may facilitate better relationships with the natural world by applying the two-eyed seeing framework. Our discussion calls for a paradigm shift for deeper understandings of human and more-than-human relationships. Ultimately, we advocate for respectful, considerate, and intentional language and stewardship.
