The global climate crisis has brought widespread attention to the use and abuse of resources worldwide. As general scientific consensus trends towards the notion that time is running out, significant inaction by public institutions leaves responsibility in the hands of academics and voluntary participants to overturn current dire circumstances. This body of work explores sustainability through the lens of Indigenous tradition, and infers upon the efficacy of large-scale uptake of traditional ecological knowledge (known as TEK) throughout Turtle Island at each level of applicability. Old-growth forestry, seed practices, water reuptake, and general silviculture are discussed as significant tools in building this unified, cleaner world.
