Native American Land Management

Native American land management refers to the traditional and contemporary practices used by Indigenous communities to sustainably oversee and steward their lands. This includes techniques like controlled burning to promote healthy ecosystems, medicinal and agricultural plant cultivation, and conservation methods rooted in Indigenous knowledge. These practices aim to maintain ecological balance, support cultural traditions, and uphold sovereignty. Native land management often emphasizes harmony with nature, emphasizing stewardship rather than exploitation, and is increasingly recognized for its effectiveness in preserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable environmental practices.
