The 4th installment in #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth series highlights the Ute Indian Tribe’s environmental philosophy and approach to conservation as found in the Coalition’s Land Management Plan (LMP).
This series celebrates #NAHM by sharing the conservation perspectives of the five Coalition Tribes with an emphasis on #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge.
A crucial component of our work is ensuring that Traditional Knowledge is incorporated into the collaborative management of BE, we also strive to ensure that Native ways of knowing are given equal consideration with knowledge understood through a Western scientific paradigm.
The creation of the #TribalLandManagementPlan presented unique challenges in terms of balancing data-sharing, confidentiality, and collaboration among distinct Tribes throughout the process.
Because each Tribe exercises extensions of sovereignty, through their membership agreement with the Coalition, they have the discretion to determine when, what, and how much to share when participating in our work.
For this reason, some Knowledge is not included in this doc as it’s not appropriate to share widely outside each of the respective Tribes. We are grateful and respectful of each Tribe's expertise and knowledge as they advance collab-management at Bears Ears.
