Abstract
The importance of sustainability has grown in the twenty-first century
(Neshovski, 2020). Short-term pursuits for economic gain continue to threaten
ageless cultures that have proven their resilience. Tribal and clan perspectives
of cultural and economic sustainability resonate strongly across the globe. In
this edited book, we present research from a dozen vitally unique scenarios.
The authors of this volume address the barriers to economic, social, and
environmental sustainability with courage and insight. They contribute to our
understanding of innovative ways to maintain cultural diversity and strength.
The relationships between Indigenous knowledge systems and cultural sus- tainability sit alongside the complex field of sustainable development.
