the future is a wave of a hand away in case you missed it here it is again. this is a whole new level of security no keys or access cards difficult to steal and copy but the technology requires a certain level of commitment that is not for the faint hearted so this is where the micro chip implant story begins for those who want them at least a clinical setting a sterile environment with some rather daunting bits of medical kids so talk us through what happens next five problems phaedrus why why setting the points interest you and. and we. just make a small incision. and then finally rob a large need to out and we first just i'll stop you there for me in my case at least i think i've already was no is because it really had completely pain free the

7:38 pm
i am probably ok in your industry today what consent trees of indigenous knowledge teach us about a lot i really could be in the final show of our indigenous abuse series will consider how indigenous communities have advanced science often to the benefit of all to mr collins we have twitter and. you're getting this comment on. our industry. to most of us the science comes up images of the boat trees experiments and textbooks but indigenous peoples around the wells have their own very different systems of knowledge that have advance human understanding indigenous knowledge also known as traditional knowledge astounded in men tamed by indigenous communities the
7:39 pm
experiences of tribal members within the natural world are passed down the generations by word of mouth indigenous knowledge is key to understanding in a ray of different science fields this clip from the center for international governance innovation has some examples of traditional knowledge means different things to different people it may relate to genetic resources. animals that are native to the area where that particular community resides indigenous peoples and insight into sustainable development and conservation and protection biodiversity and that there's something important in that that we need to hear when people suffer from humans is from microbes what have they done to combat those illnesses of the use plants or the food of these or are clues to potential sources of medicine well joining us to discuss this taro and then as a researcher and indigenous and traditional knowledge as well as climate change is
7:40 pm
also a lot. in the forthcoming six report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change he joins us from so he village north carolina and finland and also from corvallis oregon we have samantha chisholm hatfill she is a post-doctoral research associate at northwest climate science at that. and she is at a role member of the indian tribal confederation hello it's great to have you so really could not i were in this big editorial meeting earlier on today and we were flying around ten. attempts made to how brutal they were and then that phrase to distill ecological knowledge popped up and then i said. how are we going to start this conversation that's just one of the terms of our communities using and people in the know are using here is a good breakdown from the conversation it's a research and academic site they write in recent years many scholars have become aware of the large body of information known as traditional knowledge t.k.
7:41 pm
indigenous knowledge i.k. or traditional ecological knowledge. amongst other terms so i'm breland termed their traditional knowledge but to break it down even further we got this comment this is powerless white he is an environmental art activists and professor and he writes not all indigenous peoples use the same term spot when they do it often times for first of the fact that as indigenous people over generations we develop systems for gaining a reliable understanding of the world around us that seems like a good definition i would say you define indigenous knowledge. i really admire dr he and i. and i respect his views. very very in no i actually term it differently and there are multiple people who define and. differently i use t.k.
7:42 pm
more as a noun verb. as a now. because i break it down in the mideast many sections of traditional knowledge is you can have a knowledge but not actually quiet and i define t.k. as the application and utilization of that traditional knowledge so it varies from people to people and i think that it it's up to the. person the individual and the tribal community that utilizes it samantha says you want now you've given us the acronyms to give us an example well t.k. and t.k. traditional knowledge and trishul ecological knowledge would be primarily the terms that i use for me to americans have used indigenous knowledge because indigenous can mean you know people better is indigenous over a long period of time or any span of time in their place they know that place very very definitively over say four or five generations there is another term that noah
7:43 pm
uses that is called local ecological knowledge or ellie and that is separate and many people don't understand that l e k is quite different from t.k. or so mad i mean i mean i couldn't sink bright now so i'm good i'm good i believe i'm not going to think that couldn't say that just for a moment because what i want to do was to take us into this different world view that we're seeing so if we look at indigenous science for instance jonathan an example of how paps and indigenous community might look at fishing and the way the rest of us approach fishing that might be a good way to get people up to speed with what we're talking about can you give us that fishing example jonathan. yeah so in my worldview and in a lot of people i work with we're moving away from these ideas of t.k. you know traditional knowledge and common it indigenous science. that's an
7:44 pm
important distinction i think because this science is still alive today it's not it's from the ancient past of course but it's still alive today some of the things we see now. you know and i point to an example right here in oregon. less than two hundred years ago less a around two hundred years ago lewis and clark came here and in their journals they wrote about the first the first salmon surmounting which during the salmon runs here in the northwest the first process salmon tribal people had selected people to go out and fish that very first because they caught the salmon they bought them in and firm that they made a determination of how many say i am and should be taken that year. and there was fish management so that's fish science just like we do today but it was in their own way very important because they understood the consequences of getting it wrong
7:45 pm
and the consequences of getting it wrong where there were no fish the next year for them to ate there wasn't a safeway or grocery store they could run off to and get some food if the salmon thinker so they were very careful about that today though we see our fish management practices are driven by the dollar and they're driven to catch the very last fish indigenous people understood through their science that's the wrong move because if you don't have fish next year you're going to start i should say that jonathan was a house is joining us from portland oregon and he's an indigenous people scholar at the portland state university and he's got more than a decade working with tribes and first nations and he called war to shop taro. a lot of the information we're getting right now fwiw when looking at this indigenous science and what it is helping us understand climate change that is a big one when every indigenous communities i've seen climate change before anybody
7:46 pm
else you have a story about beetles because that gives us a pathway understanding of what we're talking about can you share that with us. yeah. eery the european notes there are multiple range of people to some of the people who are the indigenous peoples in sweden norway finland and russia and we steadily still very first call management regime for an atlantic salmon stream just not to marry her with the understanding that what could we do to complement scientific assessments of how climate change is having an impact on the same amount on the reverse we saw indigenous knowledge and jump right in. the answer with the beetle some years ago the school terminology holders actually did take their first ever vision of a sudden beetle species that. moved in from the. more southern latitudes
7:47 pm
and then this particular oxidation was later confirmed by science and ritchie student you know all sorts of journals but they're going to restart when we discuss indigenous knowledge or traditional knowledge the scales. scales of hosting so served are not only limited to be quite clinic and most like all are pairs or whales or even some of the beetle example shows that do so in one. some way the first line of observation makers and first responders the changes that are underway and i think you mention the being the first responders it's not something that someone might think about when it comes to beetles in the population but then what that could mean for human populations is interesting well done here on twitter picks up on that same idea of northern indigenous people such as the anyway it have compiled thousands of years of environmental observations that are
7:48 pm
now informing our view of how the climate is changing and the most extreme places on earth and in this case the arctic and how the ice is changing so tangential but but but related to what you are saying there i want to play a video comic next from someone else with some pretty specific example this is george nicholas he's an archaeologist and simon fraser university in canada and this is what he told the story. native medicines such as use a little o'barr have contributed to the development of modern aspirin and other products but also root and birch bark and other plants that were traditionally used for healing are known to have antimicrobial and antifungal properties as demonstrated by laboratory x. studies and are now being examined by pharmaceutical companies and here in the north west coast seems the practice of constructing clam garden.
