The Expert Seminar on Traditional Knowledge and Indigenous People's Fisheries in the Arctic Region took place in FAO Rome on September 23-24, 2019. It brought together more than 40 Indigenous Peoples experts, fishers, researchers and other stakeholders from the region to share perspectives and exchange experiences on Indigenous Peoples' knowledge and elements that could guide and support Indigenous Peoples' fisheries policy.

The Seminar was jointly organized by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, the FAO Indigenous Peoples Unit, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland, the Government of Canada and the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues as a follow-up activity to the successful High-Level Expert Seminar on Indigenous Food Systems, held in Rome from 7 to 9 November, 2018.
