“In Native ways of knowing…we say that humans have the least experience with how to live and thus the most to learn—we must look to our teachers among the other species for guidance. Their wisdom is apparent in the way that they live. They teach us by example…Plants know how to make food and medicine from light and water, and then they give it away.”
