This volume arose from the scientific program of the XIIth
International Congress of Pharmacology, held in Montreal, Canada,
July 24-29, 1994. The scientific program included plenary lectures
and symposia, in addition to poster presentations and colloquia.
The abstracts of the Congress presentations were published as
.supplement 1 of volume 72 by the Cana dian Journal of Physiology
& Pharmacology. The Congress organizers sought a more expansive
treatment of the Congress proceedings and appointed Dr. A. Claudio
Cuello to coordinate preparation of the present volume; Dr. Brian
Collier was chair of the scientific program committee and, thus,
also collaborated on this work. The objective that we pursued was
to produce a volume of reasonable size which would feature all of
the plenary lectures and symposia from those authors who agreed to
participate. To this end, we solicited mini reviews from plenary
lecturers and asked symposia organizers to coordi nate a single
short-review covering the individual topics within their event.
Those who accepted this challenge are evident in this volume. We
express our gratitude to these authors for doing so, and for
exercising considerable ingenuity in completing their task within a
reasonable time."
Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom: First Nation Know-how for Global
Flourishing's contributors describe ways of being in the world that
reflect a worldview that guided humanity for 99% of human history:
They describe the practical traditional wisdom that stems from
Nature-based relational cultures that were or are guided by this
worldview. Such cultures did not cause the kinds of anti-Nature and
de-humanizing or inequitable policies and practices that now
pervade our world. Far from romanticizing Indigenous histories,
Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom offers facts about how human beings,
with our potential for good and evil behaviors, can live in
relative harmony again. Contributions cover views from
anthropology, psychology, sociology, leadership, native science,
native history, and native art.
