- Robin Wall Kimmerer, Reciprocity
Robin Wall Kimmerer on "Reciprocity" for the 28th Headwaters Conference topic “Science, Story and Justice.” Held by the Center for Environment and Sustainability at Western State Colorado University on October 6, 2017. Includes the slides from her presentation.
Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is the author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants and Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses. She lives in Syracuse, New York, where she is a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment.
The 28th Headwaters:
This year’s topic is “Science, Story and Justice.” Kimmerer will speak as both a botanist and a native woman who learned plants through the stories of her ancestors and the inquisitive explorations of childhood. Topics will explore how language creates both justice and injustice as it unfolds in diverse ways of knowing-from scientific analysis to multicultural narratives.
The conference will feature tours of the Headwaters region, audience interaction and discussion, as well as exciting speakers like Robin Wall Kimmerer, Devon Peña, Mistinguette Smith (of the Black/Land Project), Aaron Abeyta, Michael Howard (of Chicago's Eden Place Nature Center), and Gavin Van Horn (all of whom are featured in the new anthology Wildness: Relations of People and Place).
I could listen to her voice all day ❤ I would have have paid attention in school if she was my teacher 🎉
"...not for our relatives." I absolutely love Robin Wall Kimmerer and I am so grateful she is offering guidance to us. It is such an honor existing at the same time as her.
Robin....I have been listening to Braiding Sweetgrass while I am watering my garden. As we wait for election results I think about your People and all of mine and pray to stand tall and stand for Mother Earth no matter what happens. We are still here ( I am Jewish and Northeastern woodlands or plains Indians according to my DNA tests) but my ancestors call to me to keep fighting for justice and reciprocity. Gindinawendimin!!!! Love you, and the hope and understanding you bring to us.
This woman is a gift to the human race.
Yes, a gift to all living beings!!
Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my most favorite books and I listen and read it every spring.
Love seeing Dr. Kimmerer speak! 🌼🌱
A gentle, powerful presentation from a woman connected to the land of the Peacemaker. Robin suggests we speak of Nature not as 'it' but as 'kin', the plural of 'ki', thereby giving respect to beings with whom we share life. By changing our language, we change our minds and the way we act in this world.
💚🌱🙏
My hero, too, for her love and insight across so many facets of culture.
Thank you so much. Let's spread it out among the younger mainly.
Loved the book, "Braiding Sweetgrass".
I love her dearly always love to hear her voice
She is one of my heroes
I am still reading the book. I love it. The way how is explained the love for the Earth remind me the love for the PACHAMAMA in quechua, the love for Mother Earth translate in English. In Perú we understand very similar the love for the land, the.love for the Earth in general.
A million kisses upon the hands of Dr Kimmerer. A true servant of life and all living.... things! haha. She mentions the need for a sophisticated protocol of various sorts for dealing with the notion of eating relatives and it reminded me of when I was child and had gut feelings that indigenous people are extremely intellectual despite being surrounded by notions that indigenous people are backwards, savages, barbarians etc. The best test of anything is time. I will always trust ancient wisdom over anything else, especially new science (typically funded by the we-know-whos)
Aqui in Spanish is Here.
The language similarity is fascinating to me
49:00 Yeah. I wish for more of that victory.
A lot of concern over the the internal systemic impact of the layers embedded within the instutions of Christian Religious Theology ..example: Genesis 1:28 . Then God blessed them, And God said to to them , "Be Fruitful and Multiply ; Fill the earth and -> subdue it ; Have -> "dominion over" the fish of the sea ,over the birds in the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." these layers where taught collectivly to my peers as a child . There impact upon the generations of our people is of great concern. and yes I am aware of the doctrine of discovery and its deeply wounding impact upon indigious peoples arpund our world these systemic layers also deeply impact our "internal" relationship with world around us .. Addressing the issue "Reflectively' in a manner our internal recognition can come to grips with is part of the deeper work indigenous speakers from all around the globe have been trying to address for years ,, but only in the past several years have we really been able to come to a place of inner "refection" to be able to question and touch on the deeper internal structures like the embedded strutures of Linguistic imperialism withion our own language on an internal emotinal level and reflect upon the core impact of all it's layers. I beleve in big partthis is becuse of the layers of "refective" dailog we have been exposed to that have brought these layers of emotinal consideration to a place where we now grapple with them internaly..
Dedicated but not subdue it:in
Genesis 1:28 .This world change ewerything😊
Use Kin, not It, for the life on this world. Save the It’s for bulldozers. Love it!
In my society every inaimate or animate being is either a she or he.
The Earth doesn't care. That's an epistemic, ethical category mistake.
You have no idea, because you are not Her
