This course introduces landscape architects to the role of Indigenous Knowledge in climate adaptation, resilient planning, and environmental stewardship. Using USGS climate adaptation examples, the course explores federal guidance on Indigenous Knowledge, community-centered research, managed retreat, climate impacts, berry monitoring in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, and water planning in the St. Mary and Milk River Basins. Participants will examine how respectful engagement, co-production, cultural context, and place-based knowledge can improve landscape planning, watershed management, restoration, and resilience strategies.
