This talk explores how Indigenous land management practices and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) offer practical, time-tested frameworks for contemporary land stewardship. Centered on biocultural restoration models, Linzie draws on place-based, community-engaged work to demonstrate how food production, ecological restoration, and cultural responsibility are deeply interconnected. The presentation highlights how land management and restoration efforts informed by Indigenous knowledge can strengthen soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience across a range of working landscapes. Participants will leave with clear insights into engaging TEK in modern land management through responsible partnerships, long-term relationships, and place-based accountability. (General Audience)
