Traditional Ecological Knowledge vs Western Science
The National Park Service has created a website for people interested in learning more about traditional ecological knowledge. While this site has many resources, project ideas, methods for learning, considerations, and applications, among other interesting and valuable information, I focused on a topic found under the issues dropdown. This site’s intent is to allow people to submit papers or other resource links to present the issues and potential solutions. The link attached to the picture below with take you to the website’s section on TEK vs Western Science.

While there are a number of links to interesting and informative papers, videos, webinars, and other media related to TEK and western science, Leroy Little Bear’s message speaks to me, how Indigenous and Western perspectives can be reconciled to benefit all.
