By elevating Traditional Ecological Knowledge, a forestry center in Minnesota works to restore ecosystems and Indigenous sovereignty. Yet, in the past several years, the restoration of fire knowledge and fire-dependent ecosystems has gained traction thanks to Indigenous leadership. Panek explains that a lot of Indigenous place-based knowledge is passed down via stories, many of which are “cued” by the ancestral landscape. The Forestry Center is now working to incorporate traditional ecological knowledge into its work without appropriating it. Still, the reintroduction of fire at the Cloquet Forestry Center has not been without its challenges.
