BIOL 3680 Indigenous Ecology & Natural Resource Management (3 credits)

This course examines the similarities and differences in Indigenous and Western ecology knowledge and critically grapples with approaches to natural resource management and conservation of ecosystems. Typical studies in Western ecology place humans at the top of a hierarchy, as the ultimate apex predators. Doing so effectively removes humans from ecosystems and establishes a model of knowing and learning about the natural world that separates us from it. Indigenous practices in ecology, in contrast, foster nature-culture complementarities that place humans within ecosystems and uphold responsibility to the beings in it. This class provides students with opportunities to analyze how Western ecology knowledge is and has been used to perpetuate issues of inequities and power. Students will learn how to respectfully engage with topics in Indigenous research methodologies related to ecology. Focus is on Indigenous homelands of Turtle Island. This class includes lab simulations and field exercises. Prerequisite(s): None [Core Curriculum Goal Area(s) 3 & 7B] [Nisidotaading Course Requirement]
