Mishkos Kenomagwen: The Teachings of Grass | Bioneers

Robin Kimmerer, professor of Environmental Science and Forestry, of Potawatomi ancestry, explores the question: “If plants are our teachers, what are their lessons, and how might we become better students?”

Kimmerer describes the tenets of the honorable harvest and how it exemplifies the Potawatomi’s relationship with nature (land as a set of relationships and moral responsibilities) and how it differs from Western understandings of what land means (land as rights, properties, ecosystem services, capital).
