Episode 12: Listening and learning from trailblazer Dr. Myle Ballard.
In this episode of the Co-Management Commons podcast, Dr. Meryl Ballard discusses her journey and innovative work integrating Indigenous and Western science. Dr. Ballard emphasizes the value of Indigenous science, the concept of "three-eyed seeing," and the challenges faced within academia and government. The conversation delves into practical applications, future aspirations for Indigenous science recognition, and the importance of language, biodiversity, and traditional teachings. Here are some themes.
Three-eyed seeing: Dr. Ballard discusses the concept of "three-eyed seeing," which includes Indigenous, Western, and non-human perspectives (flora, fauna, water, and land) to form a more holistic approach to science.
Value and validation of Indigenous knowledge: The podcast highlights the importance of recognizing Indigenous knowledge as a form of science that is not inferior to Western science and has been instrumental in the survival of Indigenous Peoples.
Indigenous Science in practice: Examples are given of specific Indigenous scientific practices, including the ethical treatment of species based on language and traditional teachings.
The future of co-management and Indigenous science: Looking ahead, Dr. Ballard envisions a government that recognizes and integrates Indigenous science on an equal footing with Western science, influencing policy and environmental management.
