Indigenous Transport Systems

Indigenous transport systems refer to the traditional methods and practices used by Indigenous peoples to move people and goods within their communities and environments. These systems are often adapted to the local landscape and resources, utilizing canoes, dogsleds, rafts, and more, depending on the geography. They reflect deep knowledge of the land and its ecology, as well as cultural significance. Such transport methods often promote sustainability and community connections, showcasing how Indigenous communities have historically navigated and lived in harmony with their surroundings.
