Local ecosystems around the world face serious environmental challenges. Native Americans have found innovative solutions by combining traditional knowledge, passed down through generations, with modern science. Roots of Wisdom: Native Knowledge. Shared Science, a new exhibition developed by The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), features inspiring stories of ecological restoration from four Indigenous communities: Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Tulalip Tribes, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Waikalua Loko Fishpond Preservation Society in Hawaii. The exhibition was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
