This chapter examines the historical role of canoes in indigenous societies, focusing on their environmental interactions and significance in cultures such as the First Nations of Canada and the peoples of French Polynesia. It highlights how these vessels influenced food acquisition and trade, reflecting a rich tapestry of rituals and relationships with nature and other species.
In this episode, we continue our conversation with Professor Jennifer Dunne, the Vice President for Science at the Santa Fe Institute.
In this episode, Jennifer discusses her work to understand ‘human-centred interaction networks’ - how humans interact with non-human species in a range of ways, including for food - by examining Indigenous cultures around the world and historical migration to Polynesian islands.
