Indigenous Ecological Knowledge refers to the Indigenous knowledge related to human beliefs, practices and experiences embedded in specific locations. There are multiple versions of such knowledge based on the unique relationships of individual communities with a focus on California Native Communities (Specifically the Muwekma Ohlone tribe). We will explore environmental justice movements, sacred lands and medicines, climate change adaptation, resiliency, the effects of colonization on Indigenous food systems and ecological restoration. We will examine the ways in which Native Peoples responded and adapted to settler colonialism, dispossession, cultural genocide, and the rise of the "Ranchosphere" in California. We will foreground the voices of Indigenous scholars and scientists. This course will allow students interested in working with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe to engage in Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) through (CEL) Community Engaged Learning. This CARDINAL COURSE draws from the knowledge and support provided by The HAAS Center. NOTE: Native Am 112 can be taken for up to 3 units and is not repeatable.
