Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer brings together Indigenous wisdom and ecological science to shift how we see the world in her talk “Ecology, Indigenous Knowledge, and Caring for the Earth.” A Potawatomi botanist and storyteller, she reframes nature not as a resource to exploit but as a community to which we belong, urging reciprocity, gratitude, and respectful stewardship. At the Cary Institute in Millbrook, expect insights on blending traditional ecological knowledge with Western science to inspire deeper care for land, water, and all living systems.
