Part 1: The knowledge we carry, with Dancing Water Sandy. The Unsettled Garden
-
- Hogar y jardín
If you’re like me, gardening has been a learning curve, from choosing plants, to soil health, and how to spot potential hazards like poison ivy.
The knowledge we carry matters. It shapes how we interact with gardens every day.
Today we’re talking with Dancing Water Sandy, of the Secwepemc and Cree Nations. She is an Indigenous Knowledge Keeper, First Nations Curriculum teacher, and she serves as a Council member at Williams Lake First Nation in British Columbia. In this episode, the first of a two-part series, she talks about how the knowledge we carry shapes our worldview, and what we can learn when we shift our mindset from one of resource-based control to one grounded in relationship and reciprocity.
To learn more from Dancing Water, read "Gardening in Ashes: The Possibilities and Limitations of Gardening to Support Indigenous Health and Well-Being in the Context of Wildfires and Colonialism" co-written with Kelsey Timler.
