And While Holistic Land, Water, And Forest Management Practices Born From Millennia Of Indigenous Knowledge Systems Have Much To Teach All Of Us, Indigenous Science Has Long Been Ignored, Otherized, Or Perceived As SoftThe Product Of A Systematic, Centurieslong Campaign Of Racism, Colonialism, Extractive Capitalism, And Delegitimization.Here, Jessica Hernandezmaya Ch'Orti' And Zapotec Environmental Scientist And Founder Of Environmental Agency Pia Soulintroduces And Contextualizes Indigenous Environmental Knowledge And Proposes A Vision Of Land Stewardship That Heals Rather Than Displaces, That Generates Rather Than Destroys.
