Overview

For millenia, Native Nations have feasted on the bounty provided by the oceans, rivers, and estuaries they cared for. From 11,000-year-old Abalone farms of the Chumash Nation to the 3,000-year-old Piscataway oyster fishery of the Chesapeake Bay, to the ancient clam gardens of the Pacific Northwest, we will journey through time to learn how Native Nations keep these systems flowing without interruption.

Our world today is plagued with fishery collapse and sorely needs the guidance and ethos Indigenous Nations provide to rehabilitate these systems. We will learn about present-day success stories of biocultural restoration performed by Native Nations in the twenty-first century. These stories teach us that we have the power as human beings to support and even enhance the natural balance of the Earth. 

In this course you will:

• Learn about 6 Indigenous sustainable fisheries

• Learn about the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers and the Klamath Dam Removal, giving us hope today

• Learn the underlying ethic of love and stewardship for Mother Earth that guides Indigenous sustainable fisheries

• Gain opportunities to support Indigenous biocultural project today
