Indigenous Land Management Practices in the USA (Videos)
I’ve been interested in indigenous land management for many years, but since the publication of M. Kat Anderson’s phenomenal Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California’s Natural Resources I’ve been engaged in active research. This has included collaboration with the Woodbine Ecology Center and my work on a publication (read an excerpt here) for them about indigenous management in the prairie and Rocky Mountain regions where they are located. As part of this learning process I’ve created several short videos.
Here’s my overview of indigenous management practices with examples from the Woodbine region:
Eric, these are all great, but you already know I think that! Video would be a great addition to Apios Inst, more on that later.

excellent prersentation – most of the species shown in the videoclip are also endemic in the Turkish Aegean region where i live..and still collected by village women (and me) – for instance amaranth whose leaves are gasthered after the spinach harvest has petered out and the nightshade used as an early spring vegetable..in the more isolated villages off the electric grid the ‘water’ gourd is used for keeping water cool in the scorching sumşmers hereş etc thanks for a presentation which demonstrates the need to retrench the fundaments of the ‘modern agricultural system’…marita
This is very important work. I knew bits and pieces but it was wonderful to have it presented like this.
Thank you.
