Braiding Perspectives, Sustaining Life

The SAGE Center for Science, Ancestral Knowledge, and Global Ecosystems advances the integration of Indigenous and Institutional science to preserve global biodiversity, restore ecocultural connections, and decolonize institutional practices.

Operating at the intersection of natural history, anthropology, and community-led conservation, we provide platforms for collaborative research, cross-disciplinary education, and ethical collections stewardship.

By bridging distinct intellectual traditions, the SAGE Center provides a holistic understanding of ecosystems and highlights the vital role communities play in safeguarding global biodiversity. We believe that solving today’s ecological crises requires looking forward through a lens informed by deep ancestral roots, true collaboration, and reciprocal respect.
