Module 2 : Indigenous Wisdom
Begin with this quote from Xiye Bastida, a descendant of the Otomi-Toltec people, " I was raised with the philosophy of my ancestors: that you take care of the Earth because she takes care of you. The regeneration of the Earth... can't be a hobby; it has to be the a shift in culture and mindset" (p. 4).
For this week's video lecture, we are going to watch this powerful lecture by Indigenous voices, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Dr. Kelsey Leonard. Take time to absorb those words. Empathize with their stories and perspectives. Take time to apply what you are hearing. You will reflect on this in your assignment.
