Eco-Cultural Concepts
What Are They?
Puyallup TFW Eco-Cultural Concepts (ECC) - Are:
Stewardship Paradigms That Recognize That Tribal
Cultural Standards Are Typically Richer Than
Ecological Standards Are Alone
A Precursor to “Social-Ecological Systems” Models (ca. 1993).
What Is PTFW “Eco-Cultural Concepts” About?
Eco-Cultural Concepts
Why Are They Important?
Early PTFW Literature Search Revealed That:
• Local Ecosystem Degradation &/or the Inaccessibility of Ecological Systems For Cultural Uses - Can Negatively Affect Tribal Family Health
• Being Displaced From Tribal Homelands: Can Have Community Impacts - That Then Demand Effective Remedies
• Community Impacts May be Expressed As Behavioral Health Dilemmas - At Personal/Family/Community Levels & Cultural Dissolution/Dys-Identity Are Well-Known Contributors (per modern tribal behavioral health programs)
Why Are Eco-Cultural Concepts Meaningful?
Eco-Cultural Concepts Main Points & Recent Uses
• ECC: Highlights Relationships That Are Represented via Symbolic Models
• ECC Uses: Can Be Programmatic &/or Ground-Based
Programmatic
• Habitat Characterization Summaries-State Forest Practices Statutes Review-Cooperative Cultural Resource Protection Policies & Tools-Stakeholder Cultural Resources Training
Ground-Based
• Ancient/Late-Successional Forest Recovery-Special Forest Products Concerns-Basin Hydrology Standards

Highlight ECC Management Outcomes
• Restore Cultural Opportunity Levels (Reverse Subsistence
Lifestyle Reductions & Nurture Socio-Cultural Attributes)
• Rate Watershed Conditions per Eco-Cultural Function
Assessments (incl. Theories-Principles-Screening-Analysis)

Cultural Revitalization Efforts - Should: • Restore Ecosystem Health & Ensure Tribal Access
For Cultural Interactions or Uses – BOTH!!
• More Likely to Succeed!
Eco-Cultural Concepts: Main Point
Tribal Community
Cultural Revitalization Efforts Should Highlight:
• Restoring Ecosystem Health & Ensuring Tribal
Access
For Cultural Interactions or Uses
Both!
• More Likely To Succeed!
Eco-Cultural Concepts: Main Point
Summary
• Cultural Standards Are Richer Than Ecological
Alone
• Subsistence Management & Traditional Social
Economy Concepts - Are Especially Useful (But
Rarely Utilized)
• Tribal Natural Resource Management and
Recovery Programs Are A Vital Component of
Tribal Community/Behavioral Health Services
Eco-Cultural Concepts: Call To Action
Conclusions
• Restore Local Ecosystem Health Using Tribal
Cultural Standards & Socio-Cultural Attributes
• Highlight the Importance of Tribal Communities
Having Clear Access to Cultural Resources That Tribal Community Wants and Needs
That Are Located Upon Non-Tribal Properties (e.g. Ceded Lands)
• Ensure Tribal Access for Cultural Interactions or
Uses (Especially on Private Lands)
Eco-Cultural Concepts: Call To Action
Todays Youth Love & Need Their Culture!
