@pvonhellermannn thanks for sharing these threads and putting them in context of your thinking on the matter! By the sounds of it, the correct citing of sources seems to be the crux of the critique - is that right? If so, wouldn't it be the easiest thing to quote / refer to a group of people that have held this knowledge rather than (or at the very least in addition to) the (most likely white, male and perhaps colonially motivated) 'discoverer' of it? Giving credit to the people who invented and refined it over thousands of years, rather than the person who happened to write it down first; while simultaneously not devaluing this act of transferring either, as it helps creating visibility of the TEK for people outside the group of original knowledge holders and therefore lays the groundwork of broader practical application, that is such an important part of finding solutions.

Great read; would love to connect with people in the design and architecture industry that incorporate indigenous principles in their processes!

'Non-Indigenous built environment professionals should start considering how their worldviews have caused damage to the environment through design and through built form, and to challenge what they know about the built environment and the filter through which they have learned.'
