Tending the Forest: Traditional Land Stewardship Practices of Indigenous Peoples with Lyla June Johnston
Friday, September 22, 2017, 02:15pm - 03:15pm |
Free. The mythology purveyed by contemporary and colonial anthropologists is that this continent was sparsely inhabited by “primitive” nomads who had little effect on the ecology of the land. Johnston leverages her experience as an indigenous woman who has lived and researched the deeper natural history of indigenous communities to explain how Indigenous Peoples extensively managed, and in some places still manage, the “Americas.” The tools and the knowledge found within the context of indigenous land and forest management have great potential to help us become more sustainable.
