Natives' Use of Resources

Natives' use of resources refers to how Indigenous peoples interact with and utilize natural materials and land to sustain their communities and cultures. This includes hunting, fishing, gathering plants, and farming practices that respect and preserve the environment. Natives often possess deep knowledge of local ecosystems, allowing them to use resources sustainably—ensuring that their practices maintain the balance of nature and support biodiversity. Their resource use is often guided by cultural beliefs and traditions, emphasizing a harmonious relationship with the land that has been developed over generations.
