 I'm going to talk today about science and indigenous knowledge, challenges and opportunities of them working together. The world is marching forward at this enormous pace and it's growing at an enormous rate. How do we think about sustainability of that, our bursting world in the future? Well, my offering to this conference is that we put values on the table and we put some older wisdom on the table, and we bring that to the discussion and see how that might contribute to our thoughts and our ideas about how to sustain growth on this planet. So how can we come to the table together and work together? How can we fix our eyes on a common goal and work together towards the sustainability of our planet using the innovations and synergies from two sets of knowledge? In my presentation I use the example of our ancestors who were the best navigators in the world at the time and the best sailors and explorers. They were able to read the stars like it was the back of their hand. They were able to navigate the waters due to an intimate relationship with those waters. But that's physics right, it's being able to read the waves, read how the waves tell you which island you're trying to get to or how far away the island is. That's my thing is convincing people that we have always been scientists and we continue to be scientists. Our breed of science, our brand of science, may be a little different from Western science, but nonetheless it has enabled us to work in the world, to be in the world, to live in the world, to survive in the world for generations and thousands of years. What I'm really interested in is raising the consciousness of the potential for Indigenous knowledge and science to work together and by working towards a common goal with some common values, can we achieve sustainability?
