This book examines the importance of Traditional Ecological
Knowledge (TEK) and how it can provide models for a time-tested
form of sustainability needed in the world today. The essays,
written by a team of scholars from diverse disciplinary
backgrounds, explore TEK through compelling cases of environmental
sustainability from multiple tribal and geographic locations in
North America and beyond. Addressing the philosophical issues
concerning indigenous and ecological knowledge production and
maintenance, they focus on how environmental values and ethics are
applied to the uses of land.Grounded in an understanding of the
profound relationship between biological and cultural diversity,
this book defines, interrogates, and problematizes, the many
definitions of traditional ecological knowledge and sustainability.
It includes a holistic and broad disciplinary approach to
sustainability, including language, art, and ceremony, as critical
ways to maintain healthy human-environment relations.
