Book excerpt: All Rights Reserved Copyright Registration Number / Date: TX0009385665 / 2024-03-01 Library of Congress Control Number: 2023923998 The Second Book for Mr. Tyler Pounds "Integrated Human-Nature Relations". The "School of Integrated Human-Nature Relations" combines the fields of Anthropology, Wildlife Biology (Botany, Ecology, Zoology) into a cohesive integrated format. The school (and thus this book) delves into the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature. Exploring the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature is a critical first step on solving the worlds "biodiversity crisis". This book explores how it is possible to list all of wildlife & biodiversity as either Tangible/Intangible/Natural Cultural Heritage through "archival retrievals". This book additionally explores how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Systems could be proven through the use of "archival retrievals". For the first paper (Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Shawnee and Choctaw Tribes-Traditional Knowledge of Turkey Food Ways and Corn: An Ethnohistory of the Agriculture-Wildlife Interface in Native North America), I examine the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) existing among the Shawnee and Choctaw Tribes. Both the Shawnee and Choctaw used their knowledge to grow corn, distribute corn, prepare corn for ceremonies, as well as religious and philosophical beliefs about corn. I provide information about turkey food ways, as well as how the tribes utilized the turkey. From the few sources gathered on how the turkey was utilized overall, they were not just used for food, they were also used for ceremonial purposes and for traditional regalia. The second paper: Explanation of how Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), Form the Basis of Ethno-Ecology and it's use in Indigenous Communities explains the intricate connections between "Indigenous Community Conservation" & Indigenous Ways of Knowing (IWOK). The second paper also delves into how the field(s) of Ecological Anthropology and Ethnobiology were formed from a historical perspective. It should be known that Indigenous People's hold "compartmentalized/integrated biological knowledge" that is held within their respective culture(s). This is explained further and can be shown in the "Afterword" section of this book. This book is filled with beautiful full-page portrait illustrations, showcasing Native American natural history. I hope my readers enjoy!
