I'd echo what both of my colleagues had to say.
I think we're at the front end of really appreciating the contributions that indigenous knowledge can make in all sorts of different areas of science and research. I agree that it isn't a dichotomy or a competition between the two. I think environmental stewardship is just the easiest one to pick on. If you look at indigenous approaches to forestry and sustainable harvesting from the land, you'll see that they're great examples of the contributions that can be made there.
I watched some of the testimony from last week. The conversation around the need for a diversity of perspectives, which I think we all agree with.... A diversity of perspectives doesn't just mean progressive and conservative; it means where you come from and your lived experience. In this country, we're privileged to have a large indigenous population from which we can learn a lot.
