Jorgensen, C J

To explore the ecological, environmental, cultural, and traditional science of Alaska Native and Native American knowledge, one must examine past and present examples of the knowledge and skills of indigenous people in maintaining a balance between the use of natural resources and the protection and conservation of the environment. There is a need for a more holistic and harmonic balance to integrate people with the natural environment. The emphasis and focus should be on simplicity and stewardship of the earth to guarantee its continued viability to provide for a growing world in the 21st century.
