  Forests and Oceans for the Future
  “This website reflects the Forests and Oceans for the Future ecological knowledge research project. This research project aims to demonstrate, through extensive research into local ecological knowledge held by the Gitxaala people, how local systems of governance and resource management can be more effectively integrated with the models and approaches of Euro-Canadian science. Related to CURA's educational stream is the public education materials provided within this website. The resources material in this package include curriculum material designed for the use in the Province of BC's K-12 education system. Of interest may be Unit 1: Two Ways of Knowing, Traditional Ecological Knowledge Meets Western Science and Unit 2: Traditional Plant Knowledge of the Tsimshian.” (annotation from Raby et al. 2004)
