@DoomsdaysCW Suggesting to private land owners that if they have a #tree species that is culturally important to #Indigenous folk, they can help support the culture while at the same time, help manage a plant disease. Are there other examples of this sort of thing? Where #plants important to Indigenous people that are distributed across land ownership types, are stewarded collaboratively? This would be akin to #Cultural #Burning in northern #California.

"What is happening in the #US is still far from the Cultural Revolution. It's maybe 1 or 2%. But you can sense that smell. The populist sentiments … [that] common sense is good [&] sophisticated thoughts are something bad."

Radical Anthropology

An interesting piece here on difference between human and other species' #cultural complexity, highlighting the aspect of #diversity.

True enough, but this is not dealing with the #symbolic, the shared #imaginary. Humans share their dreams about things that don't exist. Crows, chimps, elephants, whales, they don't.

Try Rainbow Snakes, for instance. Instead of being diverse, they are astoundingly similar around the world. Come and and hear our talk with Ivan Tacey on Tuesday for more on that.

The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

#Siletz Celebrate Historic #LandBack Deal

Tribe’s focus will be #restoration, #preservation and #cultural uses like #FirstFoods for the 2,000-acre site at the base of #TableRocks in Southern #Oregon.

by Nika Bartoo-Smith, Underscore + ICT January 17, 2025

"The property was purchased directly from the previous landowner. The #NatureConservancy preserves a #ConservationEasement on the land. The Siletz will continue to work closely with The Nature Conservancy and the BLM across the properties in the region to emphasize conservation and restoration.

Expanding access to first foods

"Moving forward, the tribe’s goal is to create opportunities for Siletz tribal members to access the historically significant land while safeguarding its character. The nation plans to work on preservation and restoration, focusing on protecting the natural area rather than developing it.

“'There will be big opportunities for restoration and enhancement of the food plants themselves,' [Robert] Kentta said. '[And] also enhancing tribal members’ access to use of and reconnection with those resources that we’ve been separated from.'

"Kentta mentioned some important first foods of the region that he hopes will become a focus at the property, including #camas, #tarweed and #yampah root. The land will also be used for other cultural purposes.

"Chairman Pigsley spoke of her hope that future generations of Siletz people will be able to go up to the rocks, hearing important stories and learning about the plant and animal relatives all around."
