Dr. David-Chavez was recently interviewed for an article in Nature on how to integrate Indigenous knowledge with Western science. Below is a short excerpt:

“People often ask how can we integrate Indigenous knowledge into Western science. But framing the question in this way upholds the unhealthy power dynamic between Western and Indigenous scientists. It makes it sound as though there are two singular bodies of knowledge, when in fact Indigenous knowledge — unlike Western science — is drawn from thousands of different communities, each with its own knowledge systems.”
