Decolonizing conservation: Incorporating Indigenous practices and Traditional knowledge into contemporary conservation practices in California
Year: 2024
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This thesis is an analysis of the relationship between the Indigenous Tribes of California and State and Federal organizations as it pertains to Land management and conservation projects. Western scientists, with the backing of colonial history and privilege, far too often "inflict" conservation on Indigenous peoples as opposed to collaborating with them. When considering conservation actions, it is imperative to prioritize Indigenous values and history as it pertains the the Land.
