Traditional Ecological Knowledge
Description
The Upper Feather River Tribal Review Project provides a mechanism for relevant Upper Feather River (UFR) Tribe(s); the Maidu Summit Consortium and/or Tribal Review Committee to evaluate and provide recommendations to each project
submitted to the UFR RWMG to incorporate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). Project reviewers will be comprised of Tribal Environmental Directors; Tribal Elders;
and other persons with knowledge of Traditional Practices and sustainability. Projects list; counties; and locations will be distributed by UFR RWM staff to all contacts on
the UFR Tribal Engagement contact list with review deadline and invitation to provide review and comment. Particular emphasis including follow-up phone calls will be made to include relevant Upper Feather River Tribe(s); meaning those Tribes within whose traditional territories of the proposed project.
TEK refers to a cumulative body of knowledge; belief; and practice and handed down through generations through stories; songs; foods; medicines; and languageù that have been shaped by ecological interactions spanning thousands of years. This relationship of living beings (including human) with their traditional groups and with their environment enables consistent best practice decision making in regards to current land management planning by traditional native practitioners.
This review process is important to ensure that each proposed project is given the opportunity to hold significant value to Upper Feather River Native Peoples; which each can benefit from Tribal historical knowledge and will be part of a self-sustaining healthy Upper Feather River ecosystem.
