This project is to provide partial funding for eleven U.S. geographers to participate in the symposium on Native American Cultural Ecologies at the 50th International Congress of Americanists (ICA) in Warsaw in July 2000. The multinational interdisciplinary group of between thirty and forty experts from Europe, North, Middle, and South America who will collaborate in that symposium intend to synthesize, reevaluate, and redirect theoretical and applied efforts regarding the relationship between sustainable development and the ecological knowledges and practices of native peoples in the present and the past. Scholarship on both past and present native ecologies is well advanced and has achieved many significant insights. But without theoretical integration of those different strands into a meaningful whole that cuts across study of the past and the present to engage contemporary theorization of society, nature, space, and their intersection in development and conservation challenges, the empirical detail will mount without significant general understanding.Understanding of the relationship between sustainable development and the ecological knowledges and practices of native peoples remains as intellectually and societally important as it remains controversial and unclear. The notion of "sustainable development" sits at the core of addressing the two great challenges of our time -- global poverty and environmental degradation. Those two phenomena are linked in complex ways at multiple scales and with increasing globalization will become ever more interwoven. The special symposium will strengthen an international network of collaboration and help increase our understanding of the various issues associated with sustainable development and native ecologies.

该项目将为 11 名美国地理学家提供部分资助，以参加 2000 年 7 月在华沙举行的第 50 届美国主义者国际大会 (ICA) 举行的美洲原住民文化生态学研讨会。由来自欧洲、北美洲、中美洲和南美洲的 30 至 40 名专家组成的跨国跨学科小组将在该研讨会上合作，旨在综合、重新评估和重新定位理论和研究成果。 努力关注可持续发展与当前和过去土著人民的生态知识和实践之间的关系。 关于过去和现在的本土生态学的学术研究进展顺利，并取得了许多重要的见解。 但是，如果没有从理论上将这些不同的方面整合成一个有意义的整体，跨越对过去和现在的研究，以涉及社会、自然、空间及其在发展和保护挑战中的交叉点的当代理论化，那么实证细节就会在没有重要的普遍理解的情况下增加。对可持续发展与原住民生态知识和实践之间关系的理解在智力和社会上仍然很重要，但仍然存在争议和不清楚。 “可持续发展”的理念是应对当今时代两大挑战——全球贫困和环境退化——的核心。 这两种现象在多个层面上以复杂的方式联系在一起，并且随着全球化的不断深入，它们将变得更加交织在一起。 特别研讨会将加强国际合作网络，并有助于增进我们对与可持续发展和本土生态相关的各种问题的理解。
