Indigenous Perspective to Climate and Environment

The landsand watersof the American West encountered by European colonizers werenot "untouched" or "wild" as some have recorded, but rather the result of a broad range of Indigenousland and water managementtechniques.To assume that western-based scientific knowledge is superior to Indigenous wisdom can be a barrier to meaningful and lasting collaboration. We must work together if we are to heal the land that we have collectively sullied.
