This book delves into the significance of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and its potential to serve as a model for sustainable practices that are urgently needed in the world today. Comprising a collection of essays written by a team of scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds, the book explores TEK through compelling case studies of environmental sustainability from diverse tribal and geographic locations in North America and beyond. The essays address the philosophical challenges associated with indigenous and ecological knowledge production and maintenance, focusing on how environmental values and ethics are applied to land use.
Anchored in a deep understanding of the interconnectedness between biological and cultural diversity, this book defines, interrogates, and problematizes the various definitions of traditional ecological knowledge and sustainability. It adopts a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, recognizing language, art, and ceremony as critical means to uphold healthy human-environment relations.
By examining the importance of TEK and its application in promoting environmental sustainability, this book offers valuable insights into the interconnectedness of human societies
cultures and the natural world. It serves as a call to action for policymakers, educators, and individuals alike to recognize and value the knowledge and practices of indigenous communities as essential components of sustainable development.
