Can I get your email. Good, thanks. Susan

Amy Smith, Apex Companies, Tulsa, OK. Thank you so much!

Defs of ITEK, TEK, IK. I have had some Indigenous colleagues relate to me how that def. was ascribed to them by western academic non-Native scholars, compared to a self determination/sovereign def. Things to consider.

That is a great answer and one of the hardest things for people to understand

Maybe TEK is not a definition, but a claim for human dignity/respect?

But in the end, with Calif. AB 52, the lead agency, not the Tribe, gets to decide whether the TCR is "significant." This flaw is the law gives no way to legally challenge. Meanwhile a gold miner has "rights" to just about anything.

Frank, Shasta, etc. I'd love to continue and expand upon the conversation on ways we can genuinely protect and restore landscapes, TEK, and indigenous peoples, through birthing and encouraging a new societal culture and social norms of which genuinely honors the wisdom of TEK

That seems to be the transition in practice that we need. Tribal consultation / consent needs to be transition to tribal decision-making authority!

Indeed, Bob!

Great report!

Thanks Shasta, this was an excellent and important presentation and discussion, and you explained it so well

The Colonizers have to help decolonize. Indigenous people can't be expected to do all of this. It takes willing partners.

That is exactly right Frank!

Indeed, Frank!

Don't throw things, but as a long time ESA member who now serves a Tribe as Environmental Director: What is ESA doing? Just something to think about.

Great question Sally. We are working on that.

Thank you, Shasta. That was a great and valuable presentation and conversation.

This was great, Thanks Shasta and TEK leadership for organizing. fkl

Yes, we need to work on ways to broaden this conversation out.
