Indigenous Sustainability

Indigenous sustainability refers to the practices and perspectives of Indigenous communities that prioritize maintaining the health of the environment, culture, and future generations. It emphasizes living in harmony with nature, using resources responsibly, and respecting traditional knowledge and relationships with land and ecosystems. This approach often contrasts with more industrial or consumer-driven methods by focusing on long-term well-being rather than short-term gain. Indigenous sustainability values cultural continuity, ecological balance, and the community's ability to thrive now and in the future, recognizing that healthy ecosystems are essential for cultural identity and overall human health.
