The First Nations Watershed Planning Guidebooks are plain language guides that introduce the watershed planning process, with a focus on community engagement and use of Indigenous Knowledge. The guidebooks present examples of First NationsÕ perspectives on water, including examples from our First Nation partnersÕ own experiences. They are broad enough to apply to watershed planning in any region of Canada and may be used at any stage in the watershed planning process. These guidebooks present and explore key tasks you need to consider for your planning process.
The first volume, Describing Your Approach: Know Yourself, addresses the first stage of planning, where the primary purpose is to articulate your
values, identify your goals, and determine how they will be explained to others.
