Summary: A major barrier to widespread implementation of decolonized approaches to environmental conservation is a general uncertainty of how to do so; while a number of frameworks describe how to work across cultures in theory (e.g., Two-Eyed Seeing, Two-Row Wampum), very few resources outline how to achieve this in practice. Generating practical resources, frameworks, and case studies that detail the tools, methodologies, and approaches that have been successful have the potential to inspire and guide future environmental initiatives that aim to weave knowledge systems to better observe, understand, and care for the environment. Finding ways to bridge knowledge systems in conservation is particularly important for species, like moose (Alces alces), that provide food, recreation, tools, clothing, art, and ceremony for Indigenous Peoples around the globe.
