I like the EPA's website's definition:
Traditional Ecological Knowledge
Tribes and First Nations possess a unique understanding of the ways in which the lives of humans, animals and ecosystems are interconnected. Centuries of observation and living sustainably in their environments has befitted them with knowledge about their surroundings that brings great depth and breadth to traditional scientific and policy decisions.
The website also presents some studies that relate it to the PNW:http://www.epa.gov/region10/psgb/us_canada_partnerships/traditional_eco_knowledge/
