Join local Tribal forestry professionals, who will trace millennia of stewardship by Indigenous peoples to manage forests based on holistic worldviews of connectedness of communities with their environments. With colonization, this ethos was displaced with forest policy centered on timber production, resulting in disruption of environmental processes. Today, Indigenous peoples are asserting greater influence over management of their ancestral forest lands through their exercise of self-determination and application of traditional knowledge and western science.
