Rooted in the insight that Indigenous Peoples hold expert, place-based knowledge of lands, waters, and more-than-human relatives--knowledge built over millennia--this book argues that true reconciliation must also be an epistemic one: a reconciliation of ways of knowing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConceived by longtime collaborators and friends Kilslaay Kaaji Sding Miles Richardson (Haida leader) and Dr. David Suzuki (geneticist and environmental leader), and convened with Anishinaabe Elder Dr. Dave Courchene and ethnobotanist Dr. Nancy Turner, this project brought together an impressive range of Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders, Elders, scholars, and practitioners.

It shows how Western science, while responsible for many advances, has also produced grave unintended harms--from ozone depletion and toxin biomagnification to the worsening climate emergency--and why integrating Indigenous knowledge, values, and responsibilities is essential to charting a different course. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once sobering and hopeful, \u003ci\u003eReconciling Ways of Knowing\u003c\/i\u003e offers: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspiring examples of cross-cultural collaboration and environmental leadership\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clear-eyed critique of the limits of Western science when it stands alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA forward-looking vision for living respectfully with each other and our more-than-human relatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor readers of environmental studies, Indigenous studies, science, policy, and anyone seeking pathways toward a just, sustainable future, this book is both a call to action and a guide for rethinking how we come to know--and care for--our shared planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacquelyn E.
