The Wuikinuxv ppl know that to stop grizzlies hanging around the village they must restore the bears natural foods. This means allocating a salmon quota to the bears (as discussed in this great article by @jwsthomson) and restoring crabapple orchards planted by their ancestors. https://twitter.com/beside_media/status/1330137637659701249
I’m lucky to be helping out on the crabapple project - our goals are to restore orchards and transplants trees to increase fruit production throughout the territories. Bears, birds, humans and all sorts of animals will benefit.
The Wuikinuxv Nation considers their non-human relatives in land and sea management decisions and always has. This model worked so well be for colonial over-exploitation disrupted it.
Indigenous stewardship stems from millennia of ingenuity and place-based learning. It’s time for settler management to incorporate or give land back.
