Inuit Knowledge helped solve one of history’s greatest Arctic mysteries. 🧭

For more than 170 years, the fate of the Franklin Expedition remained unknown. Inuit in the region had long shared knowledge and oral histories about where ships had been seen and what happened to the crew. ⏳ ❓

When modern search teams drew on this knowledge, it helped guide researchers to the area where the wreck of the HMS Erebus was located in 2014, followed by the HMS Terror in 2016. ⚓ 🌊

This story is an important reminder of the value of listening to Indigenous voices and knowledge. Not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because this knowledge, built through generations of close observation and lived experience, continues to help us better understand places around us, oceans, sea ice, and environmental change. 🌍 ✨
