Indigenous Knowledge

Some scientist like R.J. Hamiliton wanted to explain the Indigenous knowledge

What I learnt/what we can learn

Indigenous people will do anything to save the
species

memories can also save what you care about most,
only if you tell your memories

We can learn that age doesn't matter and if you speak up,
you can make a difference

marine animals are really important to the indigenous
people

Indigenous people (like Mason) fought for its tribal rights, many members of his community seemed to show deference to the Canadian government’s approval

Dungeness crab is the most important crab species harvested in the country’s western province. They took care of these marine animals because some were really important to them.

As biodiversity loss and climate change loom large over our planet’s fate, the projects they were working on began to model healthier, less extractive relationships between biologists and the communities in which they work

What surprised me/how I felt

The Indigenous elders care a lot about their land
and wildlife

The research that the scientist were doing
surprised me and how much effort they put in this

What surprised me: Yelloweye can grow nearly to a meter and are one of the world’s longest-lived fish species – one caught in Alaska in 2013 was 121 years old

Indigenous people took good care of their marine animals and cared for them. They used everything they had usefully.

The Indigenous memories were used as information and to help the marine animals from being extinct
