Native Perspectives on Sustainability

About This Collection

The videos in this collection were produced by Dr. David Hall of Portland State University as part of a series of interviews he conducted in the bioregion of Salmon Nation. Here is a rich heritage and modern day presence of diverse indigenous cultures and Dr. Hall's project sought to engage and more deeply understand Native perspectives on the subject of sustainability, in terms of the following:

the meaning of "sustainability"
visions for a sustainable future for their communities
how to get there.

More information on Dr. Hall's project is available at nativeperspectives.net.
