Beyond the Land Ethic: TEK and Forest Management and Conservation, A Native American Perspective
Beyond the Land Ethic: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Forest Management and Conservation, A Native American Perspective by Cristina Eisenberg, Graduate Faculty, College of Forestry, OSU. This lecture is part of the 2022 Starker Lecture Series
Dr. Eisenberg shares her personal journey and lessons learned as a Native American woman in science, from her early academic work with mentor Nina Leopold Bradley, to her work with Indigenous people globally as Chief Scientist at Earthwatch Institute, to the work she is doing today in North America, building respectful collaboration between Tribal Nations and US and Canadian federal governments to restore degraded ecosystems and empower Indigenous communities. She explores the concept of forest resiliency, what it meant to Aldo Leopold and his family, and how this concept was strongly inspired by the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) held by Indigenous people globally about living rightly and sustainably on the earth. She discusses how TEK that supports Tribal Nations’ treaty and sovereignty rights can be applied to conserve the forests of the future in our rapidly changing world.
The Starker Lecture Series takes inspiration from the Starker Family's history of leadership in supporting sound forestry and vibrant communities through scientifically grounded education and positive, sustained action. Learn more: https://www.forestry.oregonstate.edu/...
