Though the trope of the "Ecological Indian" is indelible in popular culture, history tells a much more complicated story. Featuring cutting edge perspectives rarely seen outside academia and in-depth interviews with indigenous historians, climate scientists, and other experts, this video will dispel the paternalistic myths and reveal Native American ecology in all its ingenious, imperfect glory.

Imperfect? Probably. Better than what we're doing now? That's a fucking certainty.

Yes, but let’s be truthful and realistic about all of our past.

[–] Sierra_Is_Bee@beehaw.org 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure, but we have a hell of lot more we can learn to live in balance from indigenous folks than we can from oil barons, tech bros and billionaires.

Absolutely. But a realistic, analytical view is important.
