“…2. This data evaluation will be conducted within the cycles of the PAR design with First Nations co-designers and the wider First Nations community. A key feature of previous successful healing programs [67] has been the First Nations participation in leadership and evaluation of the study design. 3. The qualitative data generated will be coded and evaluated using qualitative text analytics software.…”

Background The colonization of Australia is responsible for complex layers of trauma for the First Nations peoples of the continent. First Nations Australians’ well-being is irrevocably tied to the well-being of the land. The application of a landscape-based approach to collaborative research shows promise in enabling genuine relationships that yield rich and informative data. However, there is a lack of practical evidence in the field of landscape research—research tied to First Nations Australians’ worldviews of landscape. Objective This study aims to deepen shared knowledges of well-being and healing on Australian soils. We aim to examine ritual co-design as a novel method for deepening these shared knowledges. Methods This research comprises a qualitative and participatory action research design operationalized through an Indigenist approach. It is a 2-phase project that is co-designed with First Nations Australians. Phase 1 of this project is a relational study that endeavors to deepen the theory underpinning the project, alongside the development of meaningful and reciprocal community connections. Phase 2 is a series of 3 participatory action research cycles to co-design a new communal ritual. This process seeks to privilege First Nations Australians’ voices and ways of knowing, which are themselves communal, ritual, and symbolic. The framework developed by psychiatrist Carl Jung informs the psychological nature of the enquiry. An Indigenist approach to landscape research recasts the Jungian frame to enable a culturally safe, context-specific, and landscape-based method of qualitative research. Results The research is in the preliminary stages of participant recruitment. It is expected that data collection will commence in late 2022. Conclusions It is expected that this qualitative and co-designed project will strengthen the cross-cultural co-designer relationships and that the data gathered from these relationships, and the accompanying practical outcomes, will provide new insight into the interaction between human and landscape well-being. The field of landscape research is in an embryonic phase. This new field is embedded in the understanding that First Nations Australians’ well-being is irrevocably tied to the well-being of the land, and this study seeks to build on this evidence base. A strength of this research is the relational methodology, in which First Nations Peoples’ needs and desires will inform future research directions. It is limited by its context specific nature; however, it is expected that findings will be usable in guiding future research directions in the multidisciplinary field of landscape research.

“…[5][6][7][8]11,12 Elders David Courchene and Burma Bushie hold that a predominantly biomedical approach to health simply fails to address an Indigenous patient's myriad needs in an integrated and holistic manner. 9 Courchene is founder of the Turtle Lodge Central House of Knowledge in Sag keeng First Nation, and cofounder and member of the Elders' council, along with Elder Bushie and other community leaders, of the Giigewigamig Traditional Healing Centre at the Pine Falls Hospital in Manitoba. Indigenousled approaches to health care as exemplified by Turtle Lodge and the Giigewigamig Traditional Healing Centre are needed because they effectively address the health inequities that have arisen from complex historical and…”

“…Indigenous territories are home to 80% of global biodiversity and store 73% more carbon than lands managed by non-Indigenous peoples (IUCN, 2019). Knowledge and practices of Indigenous Peoples and Like-Minded Local Communities (IPLMLC) are valued as critical assets for biodiversity conservation, for the sustainable management of natural resources, co-management of natural areas, water conservation, and climate change resilience (Burkett, 2013; Cameron et al, 2019; CBD, 1992; CBT-NP, 2014; Gautam, 2014; Green & Raygoredetsky, 2010; IPBES, 2019a; Schmitdt & Peterson, 2009; Whyte, 2017). Simultaneously, ILK is rapidly vanishing (Carson et al, 2018; Peschard, 2014; Reyes-García et al, 2013; UN-ESC, 2015) as biodiversity erosion continues (IPBES, 2019a).…”

Protecting Indigenous and Local Knowledge Through a Biocultural Diversity Framework

Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) is intrinsically connected to knowledge holders’ worldviews and relationships to their environments. Mainstream rights-based approaches do not recognize this interconnection and are hence limited at protecting the integrity of ILK. This paper presents two cases in Colombia in which, by recognizing community-environment interconnections, the biocultural diversity framework advanced the protection of communities’ ILK. The first case draws on court findings that recognized Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples’ biocultural rights and granted legal personhood to the Atrato River—a pioneering ruling in the American hemisphere. The second case involved participatory fieldwork with the Embera peoples in designing a biocultural community protocol, reinforcing their relationship with the forest and protecting their biocultural heritage. The two cases illustrate that the biocultural diversity framework is inclusive of Indigenous and local communities’ worldviews and is hence an essential tool for the development of culturally appropriate protective mechanisms for ILK.
