“We have to act with integrity when it comes to indigenous knowledge and be careful and intentional about how we frame what that means. If we are the lens through which people see that happening we have a responsibility to do that properly to be good stewards of that knowledge and those who hold it.”
Sibyl Bloomfield (Waikato Tainui, Ngāti Maniapoto & Ngai Te Rangi) is a Landscape Architect and Senior Lecturer at Huri Te Ao Hoahoanga - School of Future Environments, Auckland University of Technology. We speak with Sibyl about her practice, her values and experience as a lecturer, as well as the complexities that surround using indigenous knowledge systems toward climate adaptation plans.
