How do we combine the areas of intersection between science and
indigenous knowledge, but without losing the totality of both? This
book's objective is to consider how Indigenous populations have lived
and managed the landscape. Specifically, how their footprint was a
result of the combination of their empirical knowledge and their
culture. The chapters are divided into four groups: The first deals
with reintegrating cultures and natural landscapes and the role of
kinship and oral tradition. The second group approaches the landscape
as a living university of learning and managing, discussing the
ethnobotany of how to grow more responsibly, and assess and project
the harvest. The third group deals with the managing of fire in an
anthropogenic plant community and how to integrate indigenous
agriculture in hydrology and dry regions. The fourth group consists of
studies of how science and indigenous knowledge can be taught in
schools using land-based studies.
