The field of landscape architecture is faced with rapidly changing contexts and communities. Innovative projects are increasingly engaged in community-engaged place making and long-term sustainability planning. Indigenous perspectives have radical and pervasive implications for landscapes everywhere; and yet, even with cutting-edge community engaged and sustainable projects, Indigenous perspectives are too often overlooked or considered only as an added cultural aspect of the built environment. What are the more significant levels of promise held in Indigenous cultural knowledge and practice? How might this knowledge inform how we transform the world around us, and how do we ethically access, relate with, and apply this knowledge, in close relationship with Indigenous peoples? We will explore these questions in relation to specific sites, including schools, parks and other types of land.
