WIS2DOM Working Group

 

We believe that understanding how to develop appropriate adaptation strategies to rapid environmental change is crucial for communities around the world and is especially critical for Indigenous communities.

The WIS2DOM Working Group is focused on bridging the divide between Indigenous and sustainability sciences so that the two paradigms can through dialogue better sustain resilient landscapes. We believe that understanding how to develop appropriate adaptation strategies to rapid environmental change is crucial for communities around the world and is especially critical for Indigenous communities. Our mission reflects that of the Indigenous Geographies Research Center in that we are committed to research that resituates the human in ecological terms and the non-human in ethical terms.

The Working Group collaborates with The Longhouse at the Evergreen State College, and the Nisqually Indian Tribe – Natural Resources Department.
