In order to better participate in the Arctic environmental governance and enhance the status in the environmental governance system, the indigenous peoples in Arctic area are committed to emphasizing the value of the indigenous knowledge through knowledge supply, so as to obtain intellectual power. The indigenous knowledge supply is based on the organizational basis including indigenous organizations, the Arctic Council and relevant research institutions, as well as the institutional basis of the "Ottawa Traditional Knowledge Principles". Indigenous knowledge plays an important role in providing raw data, improving the knowledge system, building regional consensus and helping the indigenous self-determination process. However, due to factors such as the Arctic environmental governance mechanism, the stability of the Arctic region, the fragmentation of the relationship between indigenous knowledge supply and Arctic environmental policy formulation, and the differences in values and research methods between indigenous peoples and the Western world, the process of knowledge supply for Arctic indigenous peoples is relatively slow. Knowledge collaborative production under the guidance of indigenous knowledge holders can break through the limitations of indigenous knowledge supply and is an effective way to improve indigenous knowledge supply.
