SUMMARY:Indigenous Edible Landscape Design: Lessons from the Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:The notion that the Americas were “wilderness” prior to European arrival is false. The notion that Native Americans were sparsely populated and technologically stunted are also false. The Americas were inhabited for 25\,000+ years according to recent archaeological finds\, and within this time period humanity managed to transform vast regions into edible ecosystems that benefitted both humans and non-humans alike. Dr. Johnston’s extensive research in the area draws lessons from paleo-archaeological stories of abundant and sustainable bioregional food systems and applies them to contemporary landscape design\, with a focus on edibility ratings. How can we (and why should we) make our household\, municipality and community landscapes more edible\, moving away from the “ornamental” goals of Euro-centric landscape design? \nThis NDAL course is available to AOLCPs at a 10% discount and can be used toward this year’s CEU requirement. AOLCPs may email us for the discount code. \nClick here to register for the course and then click the “Have a coupon?” link (beneath the price total) to apply the discount code.\n\nLyla June Johnston is an Indigenous musician\, scholar\, and community organizer of Diné (Navajo)\, Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages. Her research focuses on the ways in which pre-colonial Indigenous Nations gardened large regions of Turtle Island (aka the Americas) to produce abundant food systems for humans and non-humans. Contrary to popular belief\, Indigenous Peoples leveraged immense influence on their surrounding lands\, fires\, and waters in ways that could heal our planet today. Her work translates this poorly understood history to the Western world and highlights the connection between Indigenous land ethics\, decolonial narratives\, carbon sequestration\, biodiversity augmentation\, anthropogenic habitat expansion\, and regional ecosystems connectivity. The success of the systems is believed to be due to their underlying value system of respect\, reverence\, responsibility and reciprocity.
