Considerations in Working with Traditional Knowledgebases …“society needs to find a way to draw on multiple perspectives, and as much detailed knowledge as possible integrated from local to regional to global scales, to develop solutions to climate change adaptation and amelioration that are effective and participatory. Society’s resilience depends on diversity. Turner & Spalding 2013

Blackburn & Anderson cradleboard = ~ straight sticks from healthy, recently burned plants (hazel, willow, sourberry) 1 medium-sized cooking basket = ~3,750 deergrass stalks, willow sticks, or sedge roots from healthy, recently burned plants 1 foot of cordage = 5 stalks of milkweed or Indian hemp 1 ceremonial feather skirt or cape = 100’ of cordage from ~500 plant stalks 1 deer net = 7,000’ of cordage from ~35,000 plant stalks!!! “Average” tribal community size in California of 850 individuals would require ~150mi 2 territory for required food, fuel, and raw materials

Distribution of Tribal Communities around the Greater Bay Region, circa AD (Map from Milliken et al. 2009).

Whipple et al. 2012

From Richard Minnich California’s Fading Wildflowers, Lost Legacy and Biological Invasions 2008 [The scouts for Portola found] “pasture upon the other side [of the bay] had all been burnt and was toilsome for the mounts” (1769) [Native Californians burned] “so that new weeds may grow to produce more seeds” (1769)

Secular/academic research Landscape perspective in planning Conceptual models, identified opportunities, landscape metrics Future vision and implementation strategies Ecological theory Contemporary data and research Social and economic constraints Expected future physical template Synthesis of historical landscape form and function Tribal Research

SFEI-ASC Cultural Landscapes Program Collaborative data development Identifying areas where shared or convergent conservation goals can engender broad-based collaboration in data development to aid watershed planning and mitigation (i.e. historical ecology/cultural landscapes); Institutional capacity [tribal and non-tribal] Identifying needs or additional support across the gamut of tribes, agencies, counties, municipalities, and museums that regularly interface over watershed planning and interpretation; Interpretation and public engagement Identifying gaps and opportunities in museum and curricular approaches to interpreting California’s “natural” landscape and the role of tribes in managing that landscape in the past, present, and future.
