Summary, Etc.  

요약This 3-paper dissertation investigates cultural variation in cognitive processing and conceptual representation of ecological systems. Ecological cognition is associated with environmental attitudes and behaviors across individual and social levels; thus, description and understanding of diverse ecological knowledge structures is critical for the development and implementation of effective environmental and educational policies. Two studies describe separate phases of a singular card sorting task of outdoor scenes. In the first of these, a free-sorting phase is described in which participants were prompted to sort outdoor scenes in ways that 'make sense to them' personally. The second study describes an antecedent phase in the same card sorting task in which participants were prompted a forced decision to sort the same outdoor scenes as belonging to either 'nature' or 'not nature'. Cultural variation and synchrony across and within diverse Native and non-Native midwestern participant groups reveal a more inclusive concept of nature among diverse Native than non-Native participants. An observed non-linear effect of age suggests that formal Western education may contribute toward more narrow conceptions of nature. The third paper in this series provides an interdisciplinary exposition of ecological cognition in relation to language and culture. The linguistic relativity hypothesis informs a review of specialized aspects of Indigenous language systems, such as evidential morphemes and spatial frames-of-reference, as cognitive scaffolding for relational epistemological systems. In turn, a relational worldview is discussed as a propagative for Native/Indigenous traditional ecological practices demonstrated to support biodiversity. The sociopolitical implications of cultural knowledge and power are explored through the histories, presents, and futures of Native/ Indigenous communities as minoritized bastions of the world's remaining intact biodiversity.
