"Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management"
examines how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is taught and
practiced today among Native communities. Of special interest is
the complex relationship between indigenous ecological practices
and other ways of interacting with the environment, particularly
regional and national programs of natural resource management.
Focusing primarily on the northwest coast of North America,
scholars look at the challenges and opportunities confronting the
local practice of indigenous ecological knowledge in a range of
communities, including the Tsimshian, the Nisga'a, the Tlingit, the
Gitksan, the Kwagult, the Sto: lo, and the northern Dene in the
Yukon. The experts consider how traditional knowledge is taught and
learned and address the cultural importance of different
subsistence practices using natural elements such as seaweed
(Gitga'a), pine mushrooms (Tsimshian), and salmon (Tlingit).
Several contributors discuss the extent to which national and
regional programs of resource management need to include models of
TEK in their planning and execution.
This volume highlights the different ways of seeing and engaging
with the natural world and underscores the need to acknowledge and
honor the ways that indigenous peoples have done so for
generations.
