Encoded in indigenous languages are the world views and traditional knowledge systems of indigenous peoples gained by extended histories of interactions with the natural world. This workshop will explore the interrelationships between indigenous language, culture, and ecology and the role of language as a carrier of ecological and cultural knowledge. This workshop will provide participants an overview of cultural worldviews and traditional ecological knowledges (TEK) as well as tools to create TEK language-based curriculum. The workshop will highlight model curriculum that incorporates TEK and language on topics such as traditional plants and climate change. Participants will have an opportunity to apply their learning by creating their own mini lesson.
