Traditional ecological knowledge and other Indigenous knowledge systems can use the past to inform and shape the future. After generations of marginalization, governments around the globe are finally beginning to honor these visual and oral forms of knowledge and incorporate them into policy and disaster risk reduction strategies. Speakers will discuss Indigenous communication mediums and ways of knowing, how they have been applied to protect threatened resources and livelihoods, and how disaster programs have benefited from their inclusion.
