RECIPROCITY
is a video presentation by Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer who draws on
Indigenous and scientific wisdom to offer lessons on how we can heal our relationships with the natural world. Ecological restoration can be understood as an act of
reciprocity, in return for the gifts of the earth.
If good citizens agree to uphold the laws of the nation, then I choose natural law, the
law of reciprocity, of regeneration, of
mutual flourishing.
The presentation was given at the 28th Headwaters Conference, Center for Environment and Sustainability, Western State Colorado University.
Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer is
a mother, scientist, writer, and Distinguished Teaching Professor
of Environmental and Forest Biology and Director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, the author of Braiding
Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, and is an enrolled member Citizen of the Potawatomi Nation. She
lives on an old farm in upstate New York, tending gardens both cultivated and wild.
