In searching for academic articles for my final project, I came across an articled entitled Indigenous Ecotourism’s Role in Transforming Ecological consciousness, and it is available via the UBC library in the Journal of Ecotourism. With numerous indigenous communities around the world using ecotourism to educate non-indigenous people about indigenous values and ways of life, the article “offers a critical perspective on the capacity of indigenous ecotourism to foster more sustainable lifeways by transforming the ecological consciousness of participants and stakeholders in ecotourism.”
