“…Indigenous peoples have survived throughout millennia in North America, and the presence of Indigenous peoples today is confirmation that sustainability is at the core of TEK—no peer‐review required. Journals within the field are working to become more flexible and inclusive of TEK submissions, as evidenced by The Journal of Wildlife Management' s special section on Indigenous Wildlife Management and the multiple working groups and sections within professional societies focused on TEK (Newman 2021). It is noticeable within the published literature, however, that TEK‐focused works are often selected for opinion (Ramos 2018), commentary (Lertzman 2010), or review (Cheveau et al 2008) articles unless accompanied by a Western scientific collaborator or framework (Polfus et al 2014).…”

“…Equity among TEK and Western science is not yet realized within the field of wildlife management, but many professionals are endeavoring to create an equitable environment (Newman 2021). Contemporary academics have been calling for inclusivity of TEK into Western science research activities (Molnár and Babai 2021, Harris et al 2023), but that is not a true form of equity within the discipline.…”

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), described as the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the ecosystem, has always been part of Indigenous communities and their daily lives; however, TEK has progressively been incorporated into the academic and professional field of North American wildlife management and ecology despite its historical domination by Western scientific attitudes, knowledge, and methods. The objective of this note is to provide an overview of such progression from the standpoint of the first author, an Indigenous professional trained in a Western scientific paradigm. More specifically, the paper categorizes the history and the current state of TEK in the wildlife management profession while providing insights for the future of the field.

This paper celebrates Professor Yongqi GAO's significant achievement in the field of interdisciplinary studies within the context of his final research project Arctic Climate Predictions: Pathways to Resilient Sustainable Societies -ARCPATH (https://www.svs.is/en/projects/finished-projects/arcpath). The disciplines represented in the project are related to climatology, anthropology, marine biology, economics, and the broad spectrum of social-ecological studies. Team members were drawn from the Nordic countries, Russia, China, the United States, and Canada. The project was transdisciplinary as well as interdisciplinary as it included collaboration with local knowledge holders. ARCPATH made significant contributions to Arctic research through an improved understanding of the mechanisms that drive climate variability in the Arctic. In tandem with this research, a combination of historical investigations and social, economic, and marine biological fieldwork was carried out for the project study areas of Iceland, Greenland, Norway, and the surrounding seas, with a focus on the joint use of ocean and sea-ice data as well as social-ecological drivers. ARCPATH was able to provide an improved framework for predicting the near-term variation of Arctic climate on spatial scales relevant to society, as well as evaluating possible related changes in socioeconomic realms. In summary, through the integration of information from several different disciplines and research approaches, ARCPATH served to create new and valuable knowledge on crucial issues, thus providing new pathways to action for Arctic communities.

Human Dimensions: Traditional Ecological Knowledge—Finding a Home in the Ecological Society of America

Abstract: No data were collected for this study (i.e., theoretical, review, opinion, editorial papers).The headlines were stark. Massive forest wildfires raged on two continents with all signs pointing to late 20th century and ongoing climate change as a contributing factor (
