Many Indigenous songs serve as repositories of ecological knowledge-e.g., Sakha songs about local ecosystems and O'odham songs about desert plants. In a study by ethnobiologist Dana Lepofsky et al., a song keeper for the Kwakwaka'wakw people provided access to ancient songs referring to the people's creation of terraced intertidal gardens to foster clams for consumption. Cross-references of that information with both archaeological and paleoecological records have revealed significant increases in clam size and productivity concurrent with the most prevalent use of these clam gardens. This finding suggests that researchers should consider _blank

the possibility that other songs of other Indigenous peoples transmit ecological information that has useful practical applications.

the reliability of archaeological and paleoecological evidence that often underpins conclusions drawn from Indigenous songs.

whether the Kwakwaka'wakw people originated the method of cultivation detailed in the songs or adapted methods observed among other groups of Indigenous peoples.

the strong implication that the beneficial effects are primarily attributable to ecological factors unrelated to the activities of the Kwakwaka'wakw people.
