Community-Based Monitoring
A process where ‘stakeholders’ “collaborate to monitor,
track and respond to issues of common community
concern” (Whitelaw et al., 2003, p. 410).
“Listening to an elder’s story is one way to learn about the
past, present and future. Monitoring is similar to an elder’
story. It can also provide information about the past and the
present that can help us make decisions about the future”
(Parlee and Lutsel K'e Dene First Nation, 1998. p. 6).
