The term “water security” continues to gain traction in water resources literature with broad application to human health, water quality, and sustainability of water supply. These western science applications focus almost exclusively on the material value of water for human uses and activities. This paper offers voice to other interpretations of water security based on semi-structured interviews with Indigenous participants representing varied backgrounds and communities from Saskatchewan, a Canadian prairie province. The results indicate that water security from an Indigenous perspective embraces much more than the material value of water. Five themes emerged from this research that speak to a more holistic framing of water security to include water as a life form, water and the spirit world, women as water-keepers, water and human ethics, and water in Indigenous culture. This broader interpretation provides a more nuanced understanding of water security, which serves to enrich the water security narrative while educating western science.

The occurrence of aerobic, non-symbiotic, nitrogen-fixing bacteria was determined in samples of soil collected in the various soil zones of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Mannitol and sodium benzoate dust-plates, and mannitol solution cultures with subsequent inoculation onto mannitol agar demonstrated that Azotobacter were not widespread in the Canadian prairie province soils. These procedures also led to the isolation of smaller, aerobic, non-symbiotic, nitrogen-fixing organisms from all the Alberta and Saskatchewan soils studied. These smaller, nitrogen-fixing bacteria which developed as 1- to 3-mm circular, convex, unpigmented colonies on mannitol and glucose agar were classified as Pseudomonas. Flagellation of the 0.75 to 1 μ by 1.5- to 2-μ Gram-negative, coccoid rods was polar. Starch was hydrolyzed; gelatin was not liquified. Indol, acid, and gas were not produced; litmus milk was not reduced, but hydrogen sulphide was formed. The pseudomonads, capable of initiating growth at a pH of 4.9, could also grow at 8 °C, whereas the Azotobacter chroococcum required higher temperatures and reactions above pH 6.2. Azotobacter chroococcum fixed up to 12 mg nitrogen per gram of carbohydrate. The smaller bacteria, classified as Pseudomonas azotogensis, fixed from 0.1 to 3.9 mg N per gram of mannitol.

This study examines the perceptions of academic librarian research at six Canadian prairie-province universities. An understanding of how librarian research is viewed and valued at academic institutions can lay the groundwork to improve the state of librarian research in the future. Surveys were sent to librarians and non-librarian faculty in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences at these universities to gather information about how both groups perceive academic librarian research. Thirty librarians and 30 non-librarian faculty responded to the survey. In general, research was viewed as an important and positive aspect of librarianship, though one that was of secondary importance to service. Non-librarian faculty largely lacked awareness about librarian research, and librarians reported being unsupported in their research needs by their institutions. Librarian research collaboration with non-librarian faculty was of high interest to both groups of respondents. The results of this survey highlight the importance of research to academic librarianship while indicating that there is room for further improvement by raising the profile of librarian research outside of the library, fostering collaborative research projects, and providing librarians with the support necessary to engage in research activities.
