“The Indigenous Science of Permaculture” is an essay by writer Rohini Walker, published through PBS SoCal’s Tending Nature project. It explains how many techniques celebrated in modern permaculture—like polyculture planting, cultural burning, and community-based food systems—are rooted in long-standing Indigenous land-care practices. Walker warns that when permaculture is treated as a neutral, technical toolset, it can be appropriated and stripped from those communities. The essay invites readers to see ecological design as inseparable from Indigenous science, relational worldviews, and sovereignty, and it offers a starting point for discussing land, climate justice, and decolonizing environmental education with teens.
