Establishing, conducting, and maintaining mutually beneficial, collaborative research efforts with tribes

Abstract

No one perspective provides all of the answers to the environmental issues of our time. Humans have created a multitude of problems during the past 150 years or so, not only through continued development and industrialization, but also by suppressing and discontinuing land management techniques that historically enhanced local biodiversity. Through activities such as repetitive burning (with low-severity fire) and selective harvesting and pruning of useful plants, many landscapes were managed in a way that encouraged the growth of culturally important plants and discouraged others from growing in the area. While cultures have changed with time, so too has the landscape.
