dc.descriptionSustainability often involves three pillars: economic, environment, and social sustainability. Ecotourism is increasingly promoted as a means of boosting local economies while maintaining sustainable practices. It is important for students to recognize different definitions of “sustainability” in order to determine whether (and how) ecotourism would fit within their local community. This lesson will introduce students to the concept of sustainability from Indigenous perspectives, as well as how the principle can be applied to ecotourism in northern communities. Students will learn to listen to Elders and/or local fish harvesters define sustainability and apply local and Indigenous knowledge to decision-making around ecotourism.
