Workshops

I have collaborated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deliver 3- and 4-hour workshops entitled: 
​
Depth and Perspective: Traditional Ecological Knowledge Fundamentals, Approaches and Pathways
​This is a mural on a building at Hoopa Valley High School in Hoopa, CA. It represents many aspects of local Indigenous cultures. To me, this is a great reminder of the interrelated aspects of TEK, wildlife, and the importance of integrating Indigenous and Western sciences in wildlife conservation.
Here's what participants have said about my workshop:

The most interesting or useful aspect:

"Learning more about TEK as an approach to addressing theory and science in wildlife management"

"Concept of TEK as best available science and broadening my perspective about science in general"
​
Other comments:

"I would like to have this presented to each field office to open our thinking to other ways"

"I have always thought incorporation of Indigenous knowledge into management to be critical.  Seeing this in action is great to know about.  I also found the tribal perspective to be a great point during the presentation"
