Indigenous Knowledge & Ethnobiology
Community-engaged research, ethnographic indigenous-language interviews, historical synthesis, and culturally responsible documentation of relationships among people, species, and places.
Applied ecology, ethnobiology, indigenous knowledge
Practical ecological science grounded in place and relationships.
Epoch EthnoEcology supports tribes, agencies, researchers, and conservation partners through Indigenous Knowledge research, ecological modeling, wildlife management, and technical project development.
What we do
Research and technical capacity across knowledge systems.
Epoch EthnoEcology is a Mvskoke-owned consulting and research firm working at the intersection of ecological science, ethnobiology, and wildlife management.
We develop rigorous, practical work for projects that require scientific analysis, cultural and historical understanding, or coordination across tribal, academic, agency, and conservation settings.
Core services
Focused expertise, integrated when the project requires it.
Services can be structured as stand-alone technical scopes, grant-funded partnerships, subcontracts, or coordinated multidisciplinary projects.
Ecological Modeling & Spatial Analysis
Species distribution modeling, habitat and recovery analysis, GIS, rangeland state and transition simulation modeling, and spatial data synthesis.
Wildlife & Natural Resource Management
Game and sensitive-species research, conservation planning, biological review, structured decision making, scenario planning, and technical assistance for tribal and public-resource programs.
Research, Reporting & Project Development
Grant and proposal development, study design, technical reports, scientific manuscripts, partnership coordination, and deliverable-focused project management.
Our approach
Scientific rigor without separating ecology from people and place.
Knowledge is contextual
We design methods around the communities, species, landscapes, histories, and decisions that give information meaning.
Methods must match the question
Qualitative inquiry, spatial modeling, archival research, field biology, and management analysis are used selectively, not as a generic package.
Products must be usable
Work is developed for clear decisions and deliverables: reports, maps, models, proposals, manuscripts, management recommendations, and partnership strategies.
Who we work with
Built for collaborative environmental work.
