Knowledge Synthesis Guide

A guide to understanding Indigenous relationships with Animal Nations

We are pleased to provide this Knowledge Synthesis Guide: A guide to understanding Indigenous relationships with Animal Nations as an educational resource and as one of many steps World Animal Protection is taking to build strong partnerships with Indigenous peoples, communities, organizations and animal nations.

In this guide we provide stories and insights around different relationships that Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island and worldwide have with animal and plant nations.

These stories reflect the complex sacred living histories, ceremonial lives, land/water relationships, protocols, languages, treaties, and governance that Indigenous peoples have practiced for millennia.
