Indigenous scientist and New York Times bestselling author of "Braiding Sweetgrass," Robin Wall Kimmerer, asks: How can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? How can we move away from the scarcity, competition, and hoarding of resources that our economy is rooted in?
Join us on Indigenous Peoples’ Day at the verdant Morton Arboretum for a conversation with Kimmerer and Jill Koski, president and CEO of The Morton Arboretum, about how we can orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.
The program will begin with drum and dance by Trickster Cultural Center, followed by a conversation inspired by Kimmerer’s new book, "The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World."
