A collection of 17 manuscripts inspired by a 2021 session of the International Association for Great Lakes Research Annual Meeting was recently published as a special issue entitled: "Bridging Knowledge Systems between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities." The issue brings together--in an unprecedented way--multiple knowledge systems with a focus on knowledge co-production. Collective guidance from a panel of knowledge-holders and practitioners informs wise practices for creating ethical space for knowledge co-production. Dialogue sessions and specific case studies inform frameworks for bridging knowledge systems, and highlight the importance of ceremony, language, leadership, place-based learning, and novel approaches to education. While Indigenous and Western knowledge systems differ considerably in philosophy and practice, their complementary strengths can be leveraged to benefit all. Constructs that represent bridges between knowledge systems should have the following characteristics: (1) be co-produced; (2) preserve knowledge co-existence; (3) be based in mutual understandings and respect; (4) be power-neutral; (5) be reciprocal and non-extractive; and (6) be adaptive and open to learning and changing environments. The collection of papers on bridging knowledge systems between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities is intended to inspire mutually beneficial collaborations for climate resiliency and sustainable stewardship of the world's great lakes.
