Reflection/Evaluation
Great presentation…who philosophy is all about Restoration and Riprocity. Do better, be better, make a difference. Shared a lot about indigenous people and their relationship with earth…while taking and harvesting always giving back to mother earth. Sustainability is our role with mother earth. Talked about oral history and harvesting practices of the past.
