CALL FOR PAPERS

Conference: Sharing Indigenous Wisdom: An International Dialogue On  
Sustainable Development.

Website: http://www.sharingindigenouswisdom.org 

Venue: Radisson Hotel & Conference Center 
City: Green Bay, WI 
Country: U.S.A. 

Timeline  
Conference Date: 06/08/2003 
Conference Ends: 06/12/2003 
Submission Deadline: 01/31/2003 

Conference Purpose

Indigenous peoples all over the world are steadily confronted with 
outside pressures of having both their land and cultures assimilated 
into the dominant cultural context. There is currently an acute need 
to explore successful models of sustainable development that allow 
for the preservation of indigenous lands, sovereignty and culture, 
while also allowing for the integration of economic development, 
institutional capacity-building and technological advancement.

The Menominee believe their model of sustainable development provides 
clues to the kind of values, economic system, and social order that 
might be necessary in a sustainable world. As the state of the 
world's environment becomes more critical, it is believed that this 
model as well as other principles derived from indigenous wisdom 
might offer clues from which the modern world can learn as it 
desperately seeks development alternatives.

Who Should Attend?

Scholars, policy makers, practitioners and concerned individuals from 
around the world, whether working in academia, the private sector, 
government or civil society organizations and other advocates of 
sustainable development.   All will find topics of interest at this 
conference.

Major Topic Themes

The Menominee model of sustainable development is based upon the 
interactive dynamics between humans and the natural environment. This 
interactive process contains six inter-related dimensions: the 
natural environment; land and sovereignty; economics; technology; 
institutions; and human perception, activity, and behavior. This 
theoretical model conceptualizes sustainable development as being the 
process of maintaining balance and reconciling the tensions between 
these dimensions. This model presupposes that change within one 
dimension will impact other dimensions in an ever-unfolding diffusion 
of responses to change. The major topic theme of this conference is 
to share research and well-grounded examples that reflect the 
interface of any two or more dimensions of this model of 
sustainability.
