(5) There is nothing absolute in the way we perceive our world. Our cultural and intellectual predecessors define the perceptive prisms through which we “see”. And, how we #map our landscapes conditions how we #see them, how we #protect them, & whose worlds are included or not.

Declaring membership of dominant culture and your consequent privilege may paradoxically reinforce power imbalances when working in Indigenous spaces. A significant paper.

For many, their territory of life includes the spirit world, whose stories reveal that #biocultural landscapes in all their diversity, continue to be the sources of people’s #identities, #languages, #cultures, & ways of #knowing, acting, and being in the world @TerralinguaBCD

Stories from around the 🌏reveal the myriad ways that communities are fighting for, connecting with, & restoring their #territoriesoflife. Individuals who have been displaced from their homelands are finding ways to connect to their ancestors’ territories & cultural heritage🤝

@Christina_Baze @IndigenousScie1 @Forbes Precisely, @Christina_Baze! I feel so strongly that a course like yours needs to be taught to all, but particularly for those pursuing a career in a STEM where scientific positivism is strongest. Indeed, nothing in our human world is ahistorical, apolitical or acultural.
