Darren Parry believes Utah leaders are unwilling to talk about “the monster in the room” – climate change.By Lexi Peery | KUERTo save the Great Salt Lake, Indigenous voices and knowledge need to be included, according to Darren Parry, the former chairman of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation.
When science and Indigenous wisdom collaborate, Parry said environmental healing can happen. He gave a public, virtual lecture this week through the University of Utah on protecting the Great Salt Lake and its watershed. Parry said Indigenous people value the spiritual nature of land, water and people. He said the Shoshone people were among the first to live “in abundance” in the Salt Lake Valley.
“Western worldviews say that the land and its resources should be available for development and extraction for the benefit of humans,” he said. “Indigenous worldviews believe that the land is sacred and is only given by the creator to be carefully and lovingly maintained.”
