We are showered every day with the gifts of the Earth and yet we are tied to institutions which relentlessly ask what more can we take? Drawing upon both scientific and indigenous knowledges, this talk explores the covenant of reciprocity, how might we use the gifts and the responsibilities of human people in support of mutual thriving in a time of ecological crisis. Lecturer: Robin Wall Kimmerer, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology and tribal member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation To register: Email ideaofnature@boisestate.edu with your name and the event you would like to attend.
