Abstract

First Nations knowledge keeper Henry Michel and ecologist Don Gayton, both extension specialists with FORREX�Forest Research Extension Partnership, engage in an extended dialogue on the prospects of linking Indigenous peoples� knowledge and Western science. Along the way, they discuss the philosophy surrounding each world view, and some practical guidelines for linking the two knowledge systems� something seen by Michel and Gayton as crucial to the future of forest and natural resource management in British Columbia.
