1/3: I need to add @julia_watson_'s book to my list. Indigenous technologies are often forms of #biomimicry that are already tried and true. Could even view adapting forms of indigenous technologies as a type of biomimicry itself. #builtenvironment

2/3: I bet one could also view contextual applications of Lo-TEK as an outcome of, or partially constrained by, indigenous communities unknowing applications of Elinor #Ostrom's 8 principles in their efforts to protect local "commons" for the long term good of the communities.

3/3: That would be an interesting set of studies, knowing that our contemporary environments often unwittingly work against these principles (also divorcing of from the rest of the natural world in the process).
