“We are inspired to do this work as it is our duty and responsibility to practice our traditional teachings (tamanwit and captikwl). In order to do this we need to build allies/coalitions to codify these Traditional Teachinas into existing regulatory processes (water use, land use, zoning, forest practices, shoreline management, etc.). In addition working to educate land managers and academic institutions that Indigenous people’s native plants need culturally appropriate research support to identify climate vulnerability.”
