Wednesday, February 9, 11:00 am – The Indigenous Roots of Sustainable Forestry, Online
Building upon a millennia-old tradition of environmental stewardship, Indigenous peoples have developed innovative systems to manage the forests that remain under their sovereign control in ways that support commercial enterprise, protect cultural use, and promote ecosystem health. Join Michael Dockry, Ph.D., as he discusses current forest management projects and the increase in partnerships between Indigenous communities and federal and state forest managers.
Michael Dockry, Ph.D., is a professor of Tribal Natural Resource Management at the University of Minnesota and a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. His academic focus is on incorporating Indigenous knowledge into forestry and natural resource management, supporting tribal sovereignty, and addressing tribal environmental issues.
