Indigenous Ways of Knowing and the Study of Environmental Change

2009

Description

Drawing from the author's experiences with research in Canada, this article discusses the potential contributions of traditional ecological knowledge to enhancing understanding of climate change impacts related to the sustainability of a water-based species of New Zealand. The author makes two main points: 1) that traditional knowledge should be examined as a process rather than as content, and 2) the debate should be reframed as a collaborative partnership between science and traditional knowledge, with the emphasis on co-production of knowledge rather than as science versus traditional knowledge.
