Maple, New Hampshire's Medicine of Connection

Few things evoke the identity and values of New Hampshire more than maple syrup. It also bridges the many divisions facing our communities.

In this presentation, Damian Costello explores how the practice of maple sugaring connects us to the land, our ancestors, and all that surrounds us. In conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer’s bestselling "Braiding Sweetgrass," he suggests that sugarmaking—which is informed by indigenous wisdom—is a communal medicine of connection that teaches mutual reciprocity with the land.
