Indigenous Wisdom : Traditional Ecological Knowledge

Past event
Dec 8, 2022, 7 PM

Tim Houseberg, President of Native Health Matters Foundation and member of the Cherokee Nation will provide, along with Earl Hatley, member of the Missisquoi Band of the Abenaki Nation, a presentation of alternative technological solutions to cleaning up some of the nation's largest and most complicated toxic waste sites that reside on Indigenous lands in the U.S. This is the second program in the Indigenous Wisdom series that is a follow-up to the movie "Tar Creek." The Tar Creek Superfund Site in Oklahoma will be a featured case study for this event, along with other sites as examples of what these technologies, which are based on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), can accomplish that traditional methods on such "mega sites" cannot. These technologies that have positive results for regenerative agriculture applications (and are supported by new USDA programs) will also be discussed.
