\u201cTransformation is not accomplished by tentative wading at the edge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kimmerer’s work holds deep resonance with Wild Spaces. She advocates for Indigenous science, place-based learning, and a re-wilding of language. In Braiding Sweetgrass<\/em> she offers an invitation for reciprocity, for giving back to the land, and asks us \u201cto imagine ourselves differently.\u201d We have incorporated readings\/videos from Kimmerer as course materials, and recited her guidelines for the Honourable Harvest during Wild Spaces events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this page you will find a webinar recording that Kimmerer did for Kwantlen Polytechnic University, a blog post on using her book Braiding Sweetgrass<\/em> to teach in higher education, and a complete bibliography of her publications related to education, Indigenous science, plant medicine, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
