These impacts will affect resources such as forestry products, fish, game, wild crops, and water that are important to tribal economies and well-being. To combat this, varying levels of tribal community preparedness and the ability to build effective adaptive capacity to extreme events will be crucial for future resiliency efforts. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to work with partners who have a variety of backgrounds to plan, strategize, build and implement resiliency initiatives in tribal communities and identify innovative ways that integrate local knowledge, technology, and science in a manner that traditional and cultural identities are tied. </p><p>"Using Indigenous Research Methods, Native American Programs at the University of Maine will align research questions, data collection methods, outputs, and research protocols with Wabanaki people, knowledge, and values to build a regional tribal network for climate change adaptation and create a Wabanaki Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook. This project will work with and inform a Regional Climate Change Tribal Network to identify research and output goals and objectives using indigenous values and science related to both the network building and the Workbook. </p><p>"The Regional Network will consist of a diverse group of collaborators representing tribal harvesters, tribal environmental staff, intertribal and regional government entities, academic staff and tribal scholars from the University of Maine, and tribal elders and language speakers from each community to integrate a framework that will include indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the adaptation planning process. The primary output of this work, a Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook, will identify examples of culturally appropriate adaptative management in responding to climate change, and identify tools for future Wabanaki Tribal leaders and communities to respond to future climate changes."</p><p><a href="https://www.usgs.gov/programs/climate-adaptation-science-centers/science/designing-tools-and-networks-support-wabanaki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">usgs.gov/programs/climate-adap</span><span class="invisible">tation-science-centers/science/designing-tools-and-networks-support-wabanaki</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/ssSKw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/ssSKw</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiConfederacy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChangeAdaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChangeAdaptation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TIK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge</span></a></p>

What they are learning is helping them discover more about everything from melting Arctic ice, to protecting fish stocks, to controlling wildfires.</p><p>By Jim Robbins • April 26, 2018 </p><p>"While he was interviewing Inuit elders in Alaska to find out more about their knowledge of beluga whales and how the mammals might respond to the changing Arctic, researcher Henry Huntington lost track of the conversation as the hunters suddenly switched from the subject of belugas to beavers.</p><p>"It turned out though, that the hunters were still really talking about whales. There had been an increase in beaver populations, they explained, which had reduced spawning habitat for salmon and other fish, which meant less prey for the belugas and so fewer whales.</p><p>"'It was a more holistic view of the ecosystem,' said Huntington. And an important tip for whale researchers. 'It would be pretty rare for someone studying belugas to be thinking about freshwater ecology.'</p><p>"Around the globe, researchers are turning to what is known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to fill out an understanding of the natural world. TEK is deep knowledge of a place that has been painstakingly discovered by those who have adapted to it over thousands of years. 'People have relied on this detailed knowledge for their survival,' Huntington and a colleague wrote in an article on the subject. 'They have literally staked their lives on its accuracy and repeatability.'</p><p>"This realm has long been studied by disciplines under headings such as ethno-biology, ethno-ornithology, and biocultural diversity. But it has gotten more attention from mainstream scientists lately because of efforts to better understand the world in the face of climate change and the accelerating loss of biodiversity.</p><p>"Anthropologist Wade Davis, now at the University of British Columbia, refers to the constellation of the world’s cultures as the 'ethnosphere,' or 'the sum total of all thoughts and dreams, myths, ideas, inspirations, intuitions, brought into being by human imagination since the dawn of consciousness. It’s a symbol of all that we are, and all that we can be, as an astonishingly inquisitive species.' </p><p>"One estimate says that while native peoples only comprise some 4 or 5 percent of the world’s population, they use almost a quarter of the world’s land surface and manage 11 percent of its forests. 'In doing so, they maintain 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity in, or adjacent to, 85 percent of the world’s protected areas,' writes Gleb Raygorodetsky, a researcher with the POLIS Project on Ecological Governance at the University of Victoria and the author of The Archipelago of Hope: Wisdom and Resilience from the Edge of Climate Change."</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://e360.yale.edu/features/native-knowledge-what-ecologists-are-learning-from-indigenous-people" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">e360.yale.edu/features/native-</span><span class="invisible">knowledge-what-ecologists-are-learning-from-indigenous-people</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resiliency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resiliency</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalPreservation</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ethnosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnosphere</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SustainableDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SustainableDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TIK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge</span></a></p>

For example, among Native American people of the Columbia Plateau . . . moral precepts are inculcated by means of a body of ‘Coyote stories’. A Columbia Plateau elder may know more than 60 such stories. . . . Children learn the moral precepts that will guide them in their social and ecological relationships by listening to their elders tell these stories. Thus, religion, art and ecology are one.”</p><p>—Hunn (1993:14)</p><p>Compiled by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversityOfOregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversityOfOregon</span></a></p><p>"Compared to Western environmental science, traditional ecological knowledge is more holistic and expansive. It includes teachings that help individuals understand their role within the local ecosystem, and precepts that guide their interactions with its human and non-human denizens. Thus, in addition to natural history, traditional ecological knowledge includes governance, philosophy, and religion, as well as the expressive media used to transmit this information." </p><p>Learn more:<br><a href="https://talkingstories.uoregon.edu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">talkingstories.uoregon.edu/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TIK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Foraging</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Storytelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Storytelling</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>

As we dip further into 2024, the real change of seasons starts down here in the Sunshine State. We are referring to the shift from dry to wet season, of course! Water is the lifeblood of the state, supporting its unique sheet flow and ecological systems. We have talked about Dry Season, Wet Season, and the Everglades before on the blog. But, did you know that Seminole ancestors once used water just like we use roads?</p><p>"This week, we will talk about an entirely unique Seminole Space: the Water Highway. Built over time by Seminole ancestors, these ancestral trails were incredibly important in maintaining trade and travel throughout the peninsula.
