Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass, asks whether we have a reciprocal relationship with the land that gives us so much. Many of us, impressed by her recent talk in Greenfield, met afterward to explore questions that may be relevant to our UU Society. We invite you join us as we ask:
- Could we establish ceremonies or rituals that would help us deepen our attention to the land and our intentions to restore it?
- Could we partner with groups representing indigenous people, such as the Nolumbeka Project?
- How can we bring about more awareness of local indigenous cultures, such as by adopting historical indigenous names of places in our community?
- Shall we support the return of the land of the New England Small Farms Institute to on Bay Road in Belchertown Native Americans?
