Navigating an Ancient Future: The Compass of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)
Elizabeth Kapu'uwailani Lindsey, Ph.D. is an award winning filmmaker and anthropologist committed to ethnographic rescue and the conservation of vanishing indigenous knowledge and tradition. Indigenous science and TEK have a key role to play in planetary restoration. The first female National Geographic Fellow and a descendant of Hawaiian chiefs, English seafarers and Chinese merchants, she was raised by Hawaiian elders who prophesied her role as a steward of ancestral wisdom. She will describe her 2010 186-day expedition by amphibian seaplane to access some of the world's most fragile environmental and cultural regions, and present he findings about interrelatedness of poverty, education, and cultural survival, biodiversity and health.
