In recent years, the field of study variously called local,
indigenous or traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) has
experienced a crisis brought about by the questioning of some of
its basic assumptions. This has included reassessing notions that
scientific methods can accurately elicit and describe TEK or that
incorporating it into development projects will improve the
physical, social or economic well-being of marginalized peoples.
The contributors to this volume argue that to accurately and
appropriately describe TEK, the historical and political forces
that have shaped it, as well as people's day-to-day engagement with
the landscape around them must be taken into account. TEK thus
emerges, not as an easily translatable tool for development
experts, but as a rich and complex element of contemporary lives
that should be defined and managed by indigenous and local peoples
themselves.
