    My watch is smarter and more climate-friendly, and even if it stops working, it still shows the right time twice a day. Clever, right?

    Even better: ten African children are still alive because they weren't forced to mine rare earth minerals for your (un)smart watch. #TIKTOK #TIK #TOK

  4. Some highlights from the #APCAW conference on #AshTrees and #EmeraldAshBorer

    #JohnDaigle mentioned chemical treatment on selected trees combined with biological control releases. May not need to keep using chemical treatments if the bio-control takes hold.

    EricTopper: "Pheromones could draw EAB away from places which would fall under the bio-control umbrella."
    John replied that it has not been tested, as far as he knows.

    John Daigle: "The goal ultimately is to co-exist. Get brown ash to evolve to be more resistant, possibly by cross-breeding with other ash trees. That is being done with Manchurian ash and is having success."

    Ella MacDonald: "Brown ash used for Wabanaki basket making. Green ash not as suitable for basket making.
    We might breed brown with green ash - green ash might be more resistant to EAB. Possibly white ash with brown? However, there us no federal store of black or brown ash seeds. Seed collecting of those two are important. Folks can collect it themselves, after positively identifying the species."

  5. The final #APCAW presentation is Thursday, July 12th. #Penobscot #basketmaker and founding director of the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, #TheresaSecord will be the guest speaker.

    APCAW was kind enough to provide me with a link to last week's video and a PDF guide from the conference. I will be looking through the guide and will post about some of the key points at a later date.

    Even though the conference is free, pre-registration is required.

  6. So, I attended a Zoom conference on saving #Maine's #AshTrees from the #EmeraldAshBorer. Unfortunately, I missed the presentation by #RichardSilliboy (who got knocked out of the meeting by a thunderstorm), but I did find this film with him in it!

    They Carry Us With Them: Richard Silliboy

    by Jeremy Seifert

    "This film, part of our feature multimedia story 'They Carry Us With Them: The Great Tree Migration', profiles Richard Silliboy, a tribal elder and vice chief of the #AroostookBand of #Mikmaqs, and a #BlackAsh #basketmaker. As he weaves a potato basket at his home in Littleton, Maine, Richard contemplates the arrival of the emerald ash borer and the tenuous future of this ancient art."

    Designing Tools and Networks to Support #Wabanaki Adaptive Capacity for #ClimateChange

    By Climate Adaptation Science Centers December 31, 2020

    "Wabanaki Tribal Nations (#Maliseet, #Micmac, #Passamaquoddy, and #Penobscot) and other Tribal Nations in the #NortheastCASC region will face a disproportionate impact from climate change. These impacts will affect resources such as forestry products, fish, game, wild crops, and water that are important to tribal economies and well-being. To combat this, varying levels of tribal community preparedness and the ability to build effective adaptive capacity to extreme events will be crucial for future resiliency efforts. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to work with partners who have a variety of backgrounds to plan, strategize, build and implement resiliency initiatives in tribal communities and identify innovative ways that integrate local knowledge, technology, and science in a manner that traditional and cultural identities are tied.

    "Using Indigenous Research Methods, Native American Programs at the University of Maine will align research questions, data collection methods, outputs, and research protocols with Wabanaki people, knowledge, and values to build a regional tribal network for climate change adaptation and create a Wabanaki Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook. This project will work with and inform a Regional Climate Change Tribal Network to identify research and output goals and objectives using indigenous values and science related to both the network building and the Workbook.

    "The Regional Network will consist of a diverse group of collaborators representing tribal harvesters, tribal environmental staff, intertribal and regional government entities, academic staff and tribal scholars from the University of Maine, and tribal elders and language speakers from each community to integrate a framework that will include indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the adaptation planning process. The primary output of this work, a Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook, will identify examples of culturally appropriate adaptative management in responding to climate change, and identify tools for future Wabanaki Tribal leaders and communities to respond to future climate changes."

  8. From 2018: #Native Knowledge: What #Ecologists Are Learning from #IndigenousPeople

    From Alaska to Australia, scientists are turning to the knowledge of traditional people for a deeper understanding of the natural world. What they are learning is helping them discover more about everything from melting Arctic ice, to protecting fish stocks, to controlling wildfires.

    By Jim Robbins • April 26, 2018

    "While he was interviewing Inuit elders in Alaska to find out more about their knowledge of beluga whales and how the mammals might respond to the changing Arctic, researcher Henry Huntington lost track of the conversation as the hunters suddenly switched from the subject of belugas to beavers.

    "It turned out though, that the hunters were still really talking about whales. There had been an increase in beaver populations, they explained, which had reduced spawning habitat for salmon and other fish, which meant less prey for the belugas and so fewer whales.

    "'It was a more holistic view of the ecosystem,' said Huntington. And an important tip for whale researchers. 'It would be pretty rare for someone studying belugas to be thinking about freshwater ecology.'

    "Around the globe, researchers are turning to what is known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to fill out an understanding of the natural world. TEK is deep knowledge of a place that has been painstakingly discovered by those who have adapted to it over thousands of years. 'People have relied on this detailed knowledge for their survival,' Huntington and a colleague wrote in an article on the subject. 'They have literally staked their lives on its accuracy and repeatability.'

    "This realm has long been studied by disciplines under headings such as ethno-biology, ethno-ornithology, and biocultural diversity. But it has gotten more attention from mainstream scientists lately because of efforts to better understand the world in the face of climate change and the accelerating loss of biodiversity.

    "Anthropologist Wade Davis, now at the University of British Columbia, refers to the constellation of the world’s cultures as the 'ethnosphere,' or 'the sum total of all thoughts and dreams, myths, ideas, inspirations, intuitions, brought into being by human imagination since the dawn of consciousness. It’s a symbol of all that we are, and all that we can be, as an astonishingly inquisitive species.'

    "One estimate says that while native peoples only comprise some 4 or 5 percent of the world’s population, they use almost a quarter of the world’s land surface and manage 11 percent of its forests. 'In doing so, they maintain 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity in, or adjacent to, 85 percent of the world’s protected areas,' writes Gleb Raygorodetsky, a researcher with the POLIS Project on Ecological Governance at the University of Victoria and the author of The Archipelago of Hope: Wisdom and Resilience from the Edge of Climate Change."

  9. Talking Stories - Encyclopedia of #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge

    “it is not possible to divorce the ecological aspects of a tradition from the religious, the aesthetic, or the social. For example, among Native American people of the Columbia Plateau . . . moral precepts are inculcated by means of a body of ‘Coyote stories’. A Columbia Plateau elder may know more than 60 such stories. . . . Children learn the moral precepts that will guide them in their social and ecological relationships by listening to their elders tell these stories. Thus, religion, art and ecology are one.”

    —Hunn (1993:14)

    Compiled by #UniversityOfOregon

    "Compared to Western environmental science, traditional ecological knowledge is more holistic and expansive. It includes teachings that help individuals understand their role within the local ecosystem, and precepts that guide their interactions with its human and non-human denizens. Thus, in addition to natural history, traditional ecological knowledge includes governance, philosophy, and religion, as well as the expressive media used to transmit this information."

    Wikipedia: Chickee

    "Chikee or Chickee is a shelter supported by posts, with a raised floor, a thatched roof and open sides. Chickees are also known as chickee huts, stilt houses, or platform dwellings."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickee

    "'#Chickee' is the word Seminoles use for 'house.' The first Seminoles to live in North Florida are known to have constructed log cabin-type homes, some two stories tall, with sleeping quarters upstairs."

    "Seminole Spaces: The Secrets of the Water Highway

    Welcome to Spring, Florida! As we dip further into 2024, the real change of seasons starts down here in the Sunshine State. We are referring to the shift from dry to wet season, of course! Water is the lifeblood of the state, supporting its unique sheet flow and ecological systems. We have talked about Dry Season, Wet Season, and the Everglades before on the blog. But, did you know that Seminole ancestors once used water just like we use roads?

    "This week, we will talk about an entirely unique Seminole Space: the Water Highway. Built over time by Seminole ancestors, these ancestral trails were incredibly important in maintaining trade and travel throughout the peninsula. But, a changing Florida put an end to these busy, thriving waterways. Learn why, and how the Seminole Tribe of Florida is trying to help restore this unique and important ecosystem today."

  21. Some highlights from the #APCAW conference on #AshTrees and #EmeraldAshBorer

    #JohnDaigle mentioned chemical treatment on selected trees combined with biological control releases. May not need to keep using chemical treatments if the bio-control takes hold.

    EricTopper: "Pheromones could draw EAB away from places which would fall under the bio-control umbrella."
    John replied that it has not been tested, as far as he knows.

    John Daigle: "The goal ultimately is to co-exist. Get brown ash to evolve to be more resistant, possibly by cross-breeding with other ash trees. That is being done with Manchurian ash and is having success."

    Ella MacDonald: "Brown ash used for Wabanaki basket making. Green ash not as suitable for basket making.
    We might breed brown with green ash - green ash might be more resistant to EAB. Possibly white ash with brown? However, there us no federal store of black or brown ash seeds. Seed collecting of those two are important. Folks can collect it themselves, after positively identifying the species."

To combat this, varying levels of tribal community preparedness and the ability to build effective adaptive capacity to extreme events will be crucial for future resiliency efforts. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to work with partners who have a variety of backgrounds to plan, strategize, build and implement resiliency initiatives in tribal communities and identify innovative ways that integrate local knowledge, technology, and science in a manner that traditional and cultural identities are tied.

    "Using Indigenous Research Methods, Native American Programs at the University of Maine will align research questions, data collection methods, outputs, and research protocols with Wabanaki people, knowledge, and values to build a regional tribal network for climate change adaptation and create a Wabanaki Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook. This project will work with and inform a Regional Climate Change Tribal Network to identify research and output goals and objectives using indigenous values and science related to both the network building and the Workbook.

    "The Regional Network will consist of a diverse group of collaborators representing tribal harvesters, tribal environmental staff, intertribal and regional government entities, academic staff and tribal scholars from the University of Maine, and tribal elders and language speakers from each community to integrate a framework that will include indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the adaptation planning process. The primary output of this work, a Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook, will identify examples of culturally appropriate adaptative management in responding to climate change, and identify tools for future Wabanaki Tribal leaders and communities to respond to future climate changes."

  28. From 2018: #Native Knowledge: What #Ecologists Are Learning from #IndigenousPeople

    From Alaska to Australia, scientists are turning to the knowledge of traditional people for a deeper understanding of the natural world. What they are learning is helping them discover more about everything from melting Arctic ice, to protecting fish stocks, to controlling wildfires.

    By Jim Robbins • April 26, 2018

    "While he was interviewing Inuit elders in Alaska to find out more about their knowledge of beluga whales and how the mammals might respond to the changing Arctic, researcher Henry Huntington lost track of the conversation as the hunters suddenly switched from the subject of belugas to beavers.

    "It turned out though, that the hunters were still really talking about whales. There had been an increase in beaver populations, they explained, which had reduced spawning habitat for salmon and other fish, which meant less prey for the belugas and so fewer whales.

    "'It was a more holistic view of the ecosystem,' said Huntington. And an important tip for whale researchers. 'It would be pretty rare for someone studying belugas to be thinking about freshwater ecology.'

    "Around the globe, researchers are turning to what is known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to fill out an understanding of the natural world. TEK is deep knowledge of a place that has been painstakingly discovered by those who have adapted to it over thousands of years. 'People have relied on this detailed knowledge for their survival,' Huntington and a colleague wrote in an article on the subject. 'They have literally staked their lives on its accuracy and repeatability.'

    "This realm has long been studied by disciplines under headings such as ethno-biology, ethno-ornithology, and biocultural diversity. But it has gotten more attention from mainstream scientists lately because of efforts to better understand the world in the face of climate change and the accelerating loss of biodiversity.

    "Anthropologist Wade Davis, now at the University of British Columbia, refers to the constellation of the world’s cultures as the 'ethnosphere,' or 'the sum total of all thoughts and dreams, myths, ideas, inspirations, intuitions, brought into being by human imagination since the dawn of consciousness. It’s a symbol of all that we are, and all that we can be, as an astonishingly inquisitive species.'

    "One estimate says that while native peoples only comprise some 4 or 5 percent of the world’s population, they use almost a quarter of the world’s land surface and manage 11 percent of its forests. 'In doing so, they maintain 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity in, or adjacent to, 85 percent of the world’s protected areas,' writes Gleb Raygorodetsky, a researcher with the POLIS Project on Ecological Governance at the University of Victoria and the author of The Archipelago of Hope: Wisdom and Resilience from the Edge of Climate Change."
